IHE purpose of this work is to collate, preserve and sum- marize for the student, scholar, historian, librarian and collector, the literature of Ohio in any wise connected ' with the Civil War, meaning thereby all permanent publications on that subject, either in book or pamphlet form. So far, therefore, as years of persistent investigation and patient reading could accomplish, I have collected in these pages a bib- liography, the scope of which embraces (i) the publications of Ohio writers concerning the Civil War, and (2) the writings of others in relation to Ohio in the Civil War. In the broader fields of history, biography and science, scholars have been more or less successful in listing the sources of published information on those subjects in bibliographies, but this work is the first attempt to systematize and preserve the lit- erature of the Civil War of any State of the Union. The position which Ohio occupied during the eventful period of the Civil War was one of great dominance and in- fluence. All the power and treasure of her people were cast with the Union. She furnished hundreds of thousands of her young men, and millions of her dollars in its defense. The ac- tivity of the sword and the generosity of the purse were equalled by the facility of the pen, and as a result there has descended to this generation a mass of writing on every phase, question and event connecting Ohio with the Civil War. The literature of this important epoch is evidenced by the official reports of the State, the special and general historical writings of this period, the speeches in Congress and political pamphlets, as well as the published utterances of the pulpit, press and rostrum. These, together with the subsequent publications on this subject, con- stitute the Civil War Literature of Ohio. A classification of this literature as contained in this work can be summarized in the following divisions: I. Official Documents. In these are included the Inaugural Addresses, the Annual and Special Messages of Governors Den- (V) VI PREFACE nison, Tod, Brough. Anderson and Cox, covering the period from 1861 to 1866 inclusive, during which time there was a constant reference to matters pertaining to the Civil War. In connection with these will be found special reports by various officers and commissions made to the Governors, and by them submitted to the Legislature with their messages. Also the Reports of the Adjutant Generals for 1861-1868, the Reports of the Surgeon Generals, Commissary Generals and Quartermaster Generals ; also the Reports of Military Commissions and Committees, to- gether with the various Reports of Committees of the General Assembly relative to military matters. The Reports of the Com- missioner of Common Schools wherein reference is made to Ohio in the Civil War are also included. Also the complete roster of the troops furnished the Union Army by organizations, in which are given the regimental records and lists of battles participated in. Also the official reports of campaigns and battles by Com- manders in which Ohio troops took part, and publications of the National Government referring to Ohio soldiers. This official literature constitutes the basic and resource fund of all historical information concerning Ohio's relation to the great conflict. II. Army Organizations. Histories of brigades, regiments and companies give the narratives of the participants in the cam- paigns, battles and military movements of which they formed a part. They are written from a personal standpoint of observa- tion, and are necessarily restricted, but taken as a whole, they form a valuable fund of information for the historian. They are the most human descriptions in military literature. From no other source can the real feelings and sympathies of the soldier be obtained. Here we find his observations on camp life, his individual experiences in battle, and the record of his sur- roundings, as well as that of his comrades. The actual con- ditions of army life are more likely to be found in the writings of the individual soldier than in the formal and official reports of general commanders. These histories, now collected and summarized for the first time, are nearly all out of print, and most of them are to be found only in a very few public libraries. As a rule, they were written solely for private circulation among the members of the regiment, and consequently, not copyrighted. Some of them were written on the field, and most of them im- PREFACE ■ TU. mediately after the war. Those of recent years, when recourse to the official records was obtainable, are generally more elaborate and reliable. Sequentially connected with these organization histories are the proceedings of their reunions, usually held annu- ally. Publications of this kind were considered at the time as of trifling value, or, at best, of but temporary importance; as a result, few of them have been spared from destruction or oblivion. Yet it is in these pamphlets that will be found much of the his- tory of regimental organizations. They are also a pathetic record of the decreasing Grand Army that preserved the Union. As years pass, they will be more appreciated by the historian. If the regiments of the Revolution had preserved their records in a similar manner, what a valuable contribution would have been transmitted to posterity ! III. Speeches, Addresses and Sermons. There is no more important literature of the war epoch than the utterances of the statesmen and orators of that period. This is especially true of the speeches in Congress on the questions of slavery, secession and reconstruction. They represent the conflicting public and party opinions as expressed by the leaders of the Democratic and Republican parties. These speeches have been preserved, their contents abstracted and history given. They are valuable in studying the relation Ohio occupied to National questions at this time. In addition to these Congressional speeches will be found many made in the General Assembly of Ohio, as well as addresses from the lecture platform and the pulpit, reflecting the various opinions regarding the Civil War. IV. Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion. This organi- zation has been the greatest agency in the State in creating, pre- serving and publishing the Civil War Literature of Ohio. In these pages will be found all its productions since its organization in 1883. They consist principally of the Proceedings of the An- nual Dinners, Papers read before the Commandery, Registers and Annual Circulars. These publications are fully annotated, and their historical value indicated. V. Grand Army of the Republic. The literature of the Ohio Encampment is composed only of the published proceedings of the Annual Encampments since 1881. These are all condensed, which, with the annotations, make a continuous history of the development and growth of the Order in Ohio since that time. ▼lU PREFACE r They compose a fund of information relative to Ohio in the Civil War that is invaluable to the reader. VI. Military History. Some of the most important con- tributions to the history of the Civil War have been written by Ohio writers. They consist of memoirs, histories of campaigns, biographies, personal reminiscences, prison experiences and es- capes. They relate actual occurrences, and form a group of military literature that sheds great light on the Civil War. Under this head also may be included the reports of the various com- missions appointed to mark the positions of Ohio regiments on the battlefields of Shiloh, Chickamauga, Antietam, Vicksburg and Gettysburg. In these volumes are complete histories of the battles named, and also the part taken by Ohio troops. VII. Miscellaneous. In addition to the foregoing there will be found a list of works of fiction, essays, poetry, patriotic ad- dresses delivered since the War, periodicals, letters, trials and miscellaneous literature. In this condensation of the contents of the following pages, the reader who refers to them can have little idea of the labor necessary to pursue, discover and gather together the titles therein. Only those who have labored in the field of bibliography can appreciate the difficulties and magnitude of the task. Its value, I am sure, will be apparent to all users of books, and it is hoped that it may receive their approval and recognition. As a pioneer work in a new field, it doubtless has its imperfections and omissions ; but, notwithstanding this, as a contribution to American historical bibliography relating to the connection of a great State with the Civil War, its usefulness will no doubt be conceded. The basis of this bibliography is my own private collection of Civil War Literature of Ohio, consisting of six hundred and twenty titles of the eight hundred and ninety-nine books and pamphlets collected and annotated herein. In addition, I have had recourse to the following libraries: Library of Congress, and War Department, Washington, D. C. ; Ohio State, Columbus, Ohio; Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland, Ohio; Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Ohio Encampment, Grand Army of the Republic, Columbus, Ohio. PREFACE IX In view of the variance in the spelling of the names of battle- fields and geographical locations by the authors of the literature cited in these pages, I have adopted as a standard the names as spelled in "The Alphabetical List of the Battles of the War of the Rebellion," by Newton A. Strait (Washington, D. C. : 1900.) This valuable compilation based on "The Rebellion Record," has been accepted by the Pension Bureau as authority. In this work I have used the abbreviations, n. p., for "no publisher," and n. d., for "no date," when this information does not appear on the title page, or could not be obtained. The index, which will be found upon examination, to be in- telligently constructed and closely analytical, is the work of Charles Wells Reeder, Assistant Reference Librarian of the Ohio State University Library.

The appen- dix (pp. 275-444) contains the articles of War of the United States, rifle and light infantry tactics, the laws for the govern- ment of the Ohio militia and volunteer militia, and forms and precedents. The first edition was issued before the war. Henry B. Carrington was Adjutant General from 1857 to 1 861, when he was appointed Colonel of the Eighteenth United States Infantry. [4] Adjutant General Annual Report of the Adjutant General to the Gov- ernor of the State of Ohio, for the year 1861. Columbus : Richard Nevins, State Printer. 1862. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 99. The reports of the Adjutant General during the War and the years immediately succeeding, contain the official records of the organization of the Ohio army raised and enlisted in de- fense of the Union. No proper or complete conception of the gigantic labors engaged in by the Ohio authorities in making preparations for war can be had without a full perusal of these reports. The military condition of the State in April, 1861, may be conjectured by reading the following extract from the Re- port for this year by Adjutant General C. P. Buckingham: "No one dreamed that a war could arise, demanding the utmost energies of the country, without a sufficient note of warning to afford opportunity for at least some preparation. Resting in this fancied security, the people of Ohio lost all in- terest in military matters, so that they not only neglected to cultivate among themselves anything like military taste and edu- cation, but had come to consider every effort in that direction as a fit subject for ridicule. Hence, on the breaking out of the present war, the State was found to be comparatively without arms, organization or discipline, to prepare her for the part it became her to take in the fearful struggle. Of the many thou- sand muskets received by the State from the Federal Govern- ment, with whicli to arm and drill the militia, nearly all had been lost or sold for a trifle. The cannon had been used for firing salutes, and left exposed to the weather, until rust and decay had rendered them and their equipments worthless. ADJUTANT GENERAL 6 "A few volunteer companies had been formed from time to time, and after a spasmodic existence for two or three years, most of them had been disbanded or had dwindled to nothing. "Almost the entire organization of the militia was merely nominal. Very many of the high offices were vacant, and the system, if it could be called so, had no working power. The only bright spots in this melancholy picture were, less than a dozen independent companies of Volunteer Infantry, and seven or eight gun squads of Artillery, called by law, companies. Six of these, called a Regiment, but really composing a single Bat- tery, under the command of Col. James Bamett, took the field at once as then organized, and during the three months' service, proved most effiicient in the early part of the campaign in West- ern Virginia." In addition to the history of the recruiting and organization of the military forces, the report shows on December 31, 1861, the following status of Ohio troops : Infantry in the field, 46 Regiments ; full in camp, 1 1 Regiments ; nearly full, 1 1 Regi- ments; organizing, 13 Regiments; Cavalry in the field, 4 Regi- ments, I Squadron, 4 Independent Companies ; full in camp, 4 Regiments, i Independent Company. Artillery in the field, 12 Batteries ; full in camp, 8 Batteries ; organizing, 9 Batteries. The whole number of men enlisted in Ohio during the year 1861 was 100,224. This report also contains a Register of offi- cers in regiments fully organized and in the service of the United States. The Reports of the Adjutant General of Ohio from 1861 to 1868 inclusive, are extremely scarce, and are now practically beyond reach of private possession. While printed by the thou- sands, at the time, they were treated, like most official publica- tions, as junk or waste paper. As the official history of the part Ohio played in the War of the Rebellion, they are a necessary and reliable source of information to the student and historian of that period. The reports for 1862-1864 inclusive, were also printed in German. Report made by C. P. Buckingham, Adjutant General. [5] Adjutant General Annual Report of the Adjutant General to the Gov- ernor of the State of Ohio, for the year ending December 31, 1862. Columbus: Richard Nevins, State Printer. 1863. Boards. 8 vo. pp 140. This report shows the great activities of the year 1862. Ohio was called upon by President Lincoln for her quota of 4 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO f three hundred thousand men July 2, 1862, and again, August 4, 1862, for her quota of a second three hundred thousand men. Herein is contained the official record of the work, measures and results in meeting these calls. Also the list of officers of the newly organized regiments. There is also an "Abstract of En- rolled Militia and Volunteers and Drafted Men in Ohio from the county returns." From this table it appears that the total number of enrolled militia was 425,147 ; number of volunteers to September i, 1862, 151,301 ; number ordered to be drafted, 20,427, and number of these drafted, 12,251. On pp. 126-135 is given a condensed statement of troops raised in Ohio in the service of the United States on December 31, 1862, their officers in command and where serving at latest advices. The grand total of Ohio organizations (infantry, sharp- shooters, artillery and cavalry) excluding drafted men not held, was 170,121. Further the Adjutant General says: "In addition to the 170,121 men placed in the service of her own organiza- tions, Ohio has contributed very largely to the Regular Army, and also to the Navy and Gun-Boat service ; and in several of the early Kentucky and West Virginia Regiments, the men of Ohio constituted the main strength ; and to those regiments, since they entered the field recruits from this State have been drawn by friends and acquaintances serving them. Indiana too has complimented the Buckeyes by consenting to receive many hundreds of them into her gallant regiments." This was a busy year for the Adjutant General's office and it is shown by his report. First came the work of organizing the new three months' regiments; then came the two calls for three hundred thousand men each ; then came the enrollment of the entire militia of the State. It afterwards became necessary to ascertain the military force contributed to the Service of the United States from each of the 1,470 election precincts of the State and to apportion the deficiencies equitably among those districts. Then came the draft, and also the placing over 74,000 new troops in the field. The rebel raids called out the famous "Squirrel Hunters." So the year was full of military labors on the part of the State. Report made by Charles W. Hill, Adjutant General.

ADJUTANT GENERAL O The progress of the war and the increased labors of the Adjutant General's Department is clearly shown in the pages of this report. More voluminous than its predecessors, it is full of information relating to the patriotic efforts of Ohio to support the Union cause. In addition to supplying troops for the front, internal dan- gers called for prompt and vigorous action by the State. The "Morgan Raid" in July and the attempted rebel raid from Can- ada in November are fully treated in the report. It also con- tains a complete list of the Military Committees in each of the counties of the State for 1863. Much of the report is taken up with the operations of the new militia law ; the appendix (pp. 171-201) is devoted to explanations of the law, and general orders growing out of the same. Up to December 31, 1863, the total number of Ohio troops who had entered the United States service was 200,452. The report gives a detailed recapitulation of all classes of troops en- tered. Many regiments recruited in 1862 did not complete their organization until this year and their roster of officers is given in this report. Report made by Charles W. Hill, Adjutant General.

Under it the "Enrolled Militia" was abolished and its officers considered as mustered out of the service from the date of the passage of this act. Under General Order No. 10, the volunteer militia, as organized under the act of April 14, 1863, was continued in service under the designation of the "National Guard". This pamphlet contains, in addition to the act, the General Orders of the Adjutant General relating to the scale of organization of the militia and various forms and mat- ters of discipline. B. R.

Published by authority. Columbus: Richard Kevins, State Printer. 1865. Boards. 8 vo. pp. 288. The most complete report of the entire war. It chronicles the floodtide of military activity in Ohio when the State was puttingf forth its most strenuous patriotic endeavors in the sup- port oit the Union. Up to December 31, 1864, the State had furnished 346,326 men to the service of the United States. This report is crowded with information concerning recruiting and organizing regiments ; gives a complete roster of the National Guard; reports by counties of the draft of 1864; list of appoint- ments and promotions ; casualties by regiments since January i, 1864; list of county military committees for 1864, and orders and correspondence between Washington and Columbus. This report is all history of the most important kind and the facts herein recorded can be found nowhere else. Neither the records at Washington, nor the works of any historian have yet given a complete narrative of what is herein furnished. The report contains (pp. 254-287) appendix which includes much valuable information. Report made by B. R. Cowen, Adjutant General.

Boards. 8 vo. pp. 196. The Adjutant General opens his report for this year as follows: "The war is over. During the four years through which it continued, the State of Ohio promptly and willingly contributed her share of support to the General Government. It will be the object of this report not only to show the transactions of the State, in a military point of view, for the past year, but to present a brief synopsis of the transactions of the office during the war, bringing the same down to the present date." Considerable space is given to a discussion of the necessity of an improved militia, the experience of the past four years having given the State expensive but invaluable lessons. On the 15th of April, 1865, the State had two hundred regiments in the service of the United States ; at the date of the report less than twenty were in the service. A list of casualties among the field officers of Ohio Regiments is given, also a list of all ADJUTANT GENERAL 7 the regiments furnished during the war, with their commanding officers. A complete roll of appointments and promotions in Ohio Volunteers during the year 1865 fills 40 pages. A full report concerning the Ohio National Guard is given. Report made by B. R.

With this report closes the official record of the active opera- tions of the Adjutant General's Department. In these eight volumes (1861-1868) is recorded the military official history of the State of Ohio during the period when there were thousands of soldiers in the field and millions of money expended in defense of the Union ; they record the complicated and extensive transac- tions arising from the conspicuous part performed by Ohio in that struggle.

William Allen was a Democrat from Darke county and represented the Fourth District in the Thirty-Sixth and Thirty-Seventh Congresses. He is not to be confused with U. S. Senator and Governor William Allen of Ross County. Mr. Allen's speeches in Congress may be taken as a fair expression of the conservative Democratic opinion of the time. It was opposed to secession, in favor of any compromise so as to preserve the Union, but when every- thing failed to accomplish this, it supported the Union cause. [14] Allen (William) Speech of Hon.

In eloquent periods and with intensely patriotic words, Mr. Ames urged his hearers to stand by President Lincoln with men and money and generous sympathy. "To count that man a pub- lic enemy who would break the force of any blow which is meant to crush the rebellion, or who would weaken the arm of any offi- cer who strikes at treason."

It is an able and eloquent defense of the Lincoln administration, and a denunciation of the course of the South. It was circulated extensively throughout the Union and was among the noted ex- pressions of loyalty for that year. Colonel Anderson was a brother of Major Robert Anderson, the hero of Fort Sumter. Before the war he resided in Texas where he was imprisoned on account of his faithfulness to the Union. He came North, enlisted in the army and was commissioned Colonel of the Ninety- Third Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was severely wounded at the battle of Stone River and on that account was obliged to re- sign. He was nominated as Lieutenant Governor on the Union ticket with John Brough in 1863 and was elected. On Governor Brough's death in 1865 he became Governor. He was a polished orator and scholar, and his writings and speeches give testimony to that fact.

A vigorous expression in favor of the war addressed to a meeting of citizens of Cincinnati held in Pike's Opera House, during the campaign of 1863, Col. Anderson being the Union candidate for Lieutenant Governor on the ticket with John Brough. This letter was not only given a wide circulation in the Brough- Vallandigham campaign in Ohio in 1863, but was disseminated throughout the loyal states as a powerful and pa- triotic appeal for a strenuous prosecution of the war.

Columbus: Richard Nevins, State Printer. 1866. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 42 and pp. 58 of Accompanying Documents. On the death of Governor Brough, Lieutenant Governor An- derson succeeded him and served the unexpired term. Governor ANDERSON (CHARLES) 11 Anderson in this message refers but slightly to military matters. He discusses at great length the Monroe Doctrine and the Mex- ican imbroglio. This grows out of the fact that six Ohio regi- ments were still undischarged and in the service of the govern- ment on the Rio Grande, being there with reference to the occu- pation of Mexico by the French. Governor Anderson strenu- ously objects to these regiments being in the service after the war is over. In the accompanying documents are the corre- spondence and proclamation relating to the death of Governor Brough, to the Ohio Soldiers' Home and to the muster out of Ohio volunteers. [20] Anderson (Charles) Correspondence relating to the Ohio Soldiers' Home. {In Messages and Annual Reports for 1865, made to the Fifty-Seventh General Assembly of Ohio, at the regular session begun and held in the city of Columbus, January 1, 1866.

This is a vigorous protest to Secretary Stanton against the further detention in the service of the Ohio volunteers. The Governor states that he makes the demand for the muster out on the complaints of the soldiers.

The subject of this address, although it is not on the title- page, is, "Texas, Before and on the Eve of the Rebellion." Governor Anderson removed to Texas in 1859 in quest of health and occupation. He was a pronounced Union man and he soon discovered evidences of an active conspiracy leading toward secession and open rebellion. The active agency in this movement was the "Knights of the Golden Circle," a treasonable and wide-spread organization. In this address he narrates in detail his experiences and observations during this time as a Union man. He gives in detail the movements of the secession- ists in their efforts to take Texas out of the Union. He was personally friendly with most of their leaders and had abundant opportunity to acquaint and familiarize himself with their trea- sonable designs. He opposed them actively and openly, and in a speech at San Antonio, November 20, i860, he delivered a Union address in the face of personal threats and danger. He was afterwards confined as a political prisoner, but escaped. In this paper he reviews in detail the position of Texas in this ex- citing period, and furnishes an important and rehable history of the secession movement.

A learned and dignified exposition relative to the allegiance of Americans at the critical period of the civil war, and a caustic criticism of the political dogma of "state sovereignty". On ac- count of its elevated and patriotic sentiment it was widely cir- culated in Ohio during the Brough-Vallandigham campaign.

S. Oilman Printing Co. 1909. Cloth. 8 vo. pp. 150, with 12 Full Page Portraits and 3 Full Page Illustrations. There were two regiments of this number from Ohio dur- ing the Civil War. One was a three months' regiment which was mustered out of service September 25, 1862 ; the other and later one enlisted for six months, and was mustered out of the service February 10, 1864. The movements and record of this six months' regiment is the subject of this history. The author has obtained the knowledge set forth in this work as he says, "from our memories, from old pocket diaries which were carried safely through our campaign from muster- in to muster-out, from souvenirs gathered by the way and now treasured at home as silent witnesses, and by corroborations dragged out of the musty archives, now stored in the Adjutant General's office at Washington and Columbus." The regiment was organized at Camp Cleveland, Ohio, July 14, 1863. Its Colonel was Wilson C. Lemert, who was the Major of the first, or three months' Eighty-Sixth Regiment. It saw active service in the "Morgan Raid" and at the capture of Cumberland Gap, Tennessee. This volume also contains a summary of the reunions of the regiment commencing in 1897. A complete roster, and a roll of honor of those who died in the service, also form a part of the contents. [25] Ashley (James M.) Speech of Hon. James M. Ashley of Ohio.

Polkinhorn, Printer. 1861. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 16. This is an exhaustive and able appeal for the unconditional emancipation of the negro, for the preservation of the Union at any cost and against the treason of secession. Mr. Ashley's speeches of the war period are valuable contributions to the history of that time, and their study will illuminate all the public questions of that period. James M. Ashley was born near Pittsburg, Pa., November 14, 1824. He was admitted to the bar of Ohio in 1849. Settled in Toledo, was elected to Congress and served from December 5, 1859 to March 3, 1869. He was four terms chairman of the 14 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO Committee on territories and it was under his supervision that Arizona, Idaho and Montana were oro;anized as territories. On the breaking out of the Rebellion he took a most prominent part in the support of the Union cause and in supporting Mr. Lin- coln's administration. He was aggressively anti-slavery and he drew up and had charge of the bill to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, and also had charge of the Constitutional amendment abolishing slavery in the United States. To him more than to any one of his contemporaries is due the success of that legislation. After serving five terms in Congress he was defeated for the sixth term. President Grant subsequently ap- pointed him governor of Montana, which position he filled with signal ability and success. With this his public life ended. [26] Ashley (J. M.)

Towers & Co., Printers. 1861. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 16. This address was delivered to his constituents when the secession movement was actively on its way. He reviews the history of slavery in the United States, and quotes the writings of Southern statesmen favoring secession as far back as 1850. The address is convincing in argument, mild in tone and replete with historical facts. It was widely circulated not only in Ohio but throughout the country. [27] Ashley (J. M.)

C. : Scammell & Co., Printers. 1862. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 8. During the first session of Congress after Mr. Lincoln be- came President, Mr. Ashley introduced a bill to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia. This was the first legislative at- tempt for emancipation. The bill was very brief, simply enacting "that slavery, or involuntary servitude, should cease in the Dis- trict of Columbia, from and after the passage of this act". The ASHLEY (j. M.) 15 bill was regarded as too radical by Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Chase and the administration. Air. Chase suggested a bill to compensate loyal slaveholders. Personally, Mr. Ashley was opposed to recognizing ownership in men, but, confident that no other bill would pass, he agreed to this suggestion. He reported a bill of this nature on the 12th of March, 1862. On the nth of April following, it passed and was at once signed by the President. In this speech, delivered on the date the bill passed, Mr. Ashley asseverated his belief of years, that "Congress had no more right to make a slave, than to make a king". He quoted the writings of great men from Plato and Socrates, to Alexander Hamilton and Daniel O'Connell on the moral iniquity of human slavery. [28] Ashley (J. M.)

Polkinliom, Printer. 1864. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 15. This was Mr. Ashley's first speech in Congress on the per- plexing question of reconstruction. He declares in a powerful argument that neither Mr. Lincoln, as President, nor any Gen- eral of the Army, was vested by the constitution or the laws of war, with authority to organize civil state governments in any of the states that seceded. He claimed that Congress, and Con- gress alone, was clothed by the constitution, with this extraord- inary power. He denied that any President or General had any authority vested in them for such purpose. His criticism of the President and General Banks for the proclamation in Louisi- ana was strong and logical. The speech can be read now with instruction concerning the powers of Congress. Mr. Ash- ley's attitude was strongly indorsed by Senator Sumner and other Congressional leaders of that day.

New York: Wm. C. Bryant & Co., Printers. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 22. 16 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO This speech and the adoption of the constitutional amend- ment places Mr. Ashley's fame secure in the history' of Ameri- can statesmanship. In the previous session of Congress, the joint resolution proposing- this amendment had been rejected by the House. On this day Mr. Ashley called the resolution up for discussion, which ran until January 31, 1865, when the reso- lution was adopted by the required two-thirds vote — 119 yeas to 56 nays. In this speech there is a complete and impassioned discussion of slavery from a moral, political and legal standpoint as well as an argument on the right of Congress to amend the Constitution on the vote of States not fully in the Union. Mr. Blaine in his "Twenty Years of Congress" concerning Mr. Ash- ley's work on this measure, says : "He made a forcible speech in support of the amendment, but the chief value of his work did not consist in speaking, but in his watchful care of the measure, in the quick and intuitive judgment with which he discerned every man on the Democratic side of the House who felt an- xious as to the vote he should give on the momentous question, and in the pressure which he brought to bear upon him from the best and most influential of his constituents". The passage of the amendments was due to the votes of eleven Democrats, — Wells A. Hutchins of Ohio being one of them. [30] Ashley (James M.) Impartial Suffrage the only Safe Basis of Reconstruc- tion. Speech of Hon. James M. Ashley of Ohio, in the House of Representatives, May 29, 18G6. Washington: Printed at the Congressional Globe Office. 1866. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 15. In the Reconstruction debates of Congress Mr. Ashley was conspicuous and influential, and his speeches represented the progressive or radical repul)licanism of the time. This speech was made when the House had under consideration the bill to restore to the States lately in insurrection their full political rights. At the same time there was pending also a bill declaring certain persons who had been engaged in rebellion to be ineligible to office under the Government of the United States. All this legislation was ancillary and attendant to the Fourteenth Amend- ment to the Constitution of the United States then before Con- gress. In this speech Mr. Ashley discussed Reconstruction with reference to all these measures and policies. His position was this: he had always held, that when the people of the seceding States abolished their constitutional State governments, and federated together in violation of the National Constitution, and ASHLEY (j. M.) 17 organized hostile State governments and a national confederate government, and maintained those governments by force of arms until the rebellion became so formidable as to claim the preroga- tive of a national de facto government, and to have had conceded to it by the United States and the great powers of Europe belli- gerent rights, that from that hour constitutional State govern- ments ceased in each of the States so federated together. He therefore contends, herein, that until governments are reorgan- ized in each of these States subordinate to the National Consti- tution and recognized by Congress there can be no constitutional State governments in such States. He advocates that the gov- ernments be confined to the loyal people, both white and black, in those States, and argues for the enfranchisement of the negroes therein. Tn this position Mr. Ashley was supported by Benjamin F. Wade, Charles Simmer, Thaddeus Stevens, and other leaders of the Republican Party. . [31] Ashley (J. M.) Address of Hon. J. M.

Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 26. A portion of this address was devoted to the praise of Ohio and Ohio men. "Great occasions produce great men, and the State of Ohio furnished her full quota for the crisis of i86r. In the Army, Ohio eclipsed the world," he said. But the greater part of his most admirable paper was a history of the passage through the House of Representatives at Washington of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution which abolished slavery.

This proves to have been a most interesting contribution to War-time history. Mr. Ashley did not hesitate to declare that with Mr. Seward as President, the Confederacy would have been successful. The reminiscences respecting Mr. Calhoun and President Lincoln have to do with their acts re- spectively as legislator and President. [33] Ashley (J. M.) Address of Hon. J. M.

As the ex- pressions and reminiscences of one of the chief actors of that period it is a very valuable contribution to the civil war history. [34] Ashley (James M.)

ASTON (HOWARD) 19 [35] Aston (Howard) History and Roster of the Fourth and Fifth Inde- pendent Battalions and Thirteenth Regiment, Ohio Cav- alry Volunteers. Their battles and skirmishes, roster of the dead, etc. By Howard Aston, Orderly Sergt., and First Lieut Co. F. 13th O. C. Vol. Columbus, Ohio : Press of Fred J. Heer. 1902. Cloth. 13 mo. pp. Ill and Appendix, pp. 65, with Portraits — 8 Full Page. The Thirteenth Ohio Volunteer Cavalry was mustered in at Camp Chase, Ohio, May 5, 1864. The Regiment, at the organ- ization, was formed by the re-enlistment of members of the Fourth and Fifth Independent Cavalry Battalions (six months' organiza- tions) and recruits from different parts of the State. From its organization until December 18, 1864, the Regiment acted as infantry. On that day the men were armed and equipped as cavalry, and served as such until mustered out at Petersburg, Va., August 10, 1865. The Regiment performed good and valiant service. It participated in the following engagements : Weldon Railroad, Va., June 22-23, 1864; Petersburg, Va., (as- sault), July 30, 1864; Ream's Station, Va., August 25, 1864; Poplar Spring Church, Va., September 30, 1864; Hatcher's Run, Va., October 27, 1864; Hatcher's Run, Va., February 5-7, 1865; Dinwiddie C. H., Va., March 31, 1865; Amelia Springs or Jetersville, Va., April 5, 1865 ; and Appomattox C. H., (Lee's surrender), April 8-9, 1865. The history of the Regiment is written largely from the diary of Howard Aston, which recorded a most realistic account of its service. His description of the "Crater fight" at Peters- burg, wherein the command advanced to the hottest of the con- flict and into the very crater itself, is a thrilling and dramatic description of one of the most heartsickening assaults of the War. The appendix has a well written sketch by Col. S. R. Clark, the regiment's commander, entitled "With Sheridan from Peters- burg to Appomattox". It also contains the history of the Fourth and Fifth Independent Battalions. These organizations made creditable records in the "Morgan Raid" and in Eastern Ken- tucky prior to their transformation into the Thirteenth O. V. C. [36] Ayres (S. C.)

During the Civil War, only two naval officers reached the high rank of Vice .A,dmiral in our Navy. One of these was David S. Porter, who became Admiral on the death of Admiral Farragut, and the other, Stephen C. Rowan, was made Vice Ad- miral by selection when Porter was promoted to Farragut's rank. In this paper the author writes of the life and career of Rowan. He was born in Ireland December 25, 1808. His father emi- grated to Pennsylvania and afterwards to Piqua, Ohio. Young Rowan entered Miami University in 1825, and in 1826 was ap- pointed Midshipman in the Navy by Hon. William McLean, M. C. From that time he spent the whole of his active life in the service of his country, serving with distinction in the War with Mexico and in the Civil War. He died March 31, 1890, in the eighty-second year of his age. A monument to his honor has been erected at Piqua, Ohio, by J. G. Schmidlapp; it was dedi- cated October 13, 1909. [37] ARBiERK (Joe) Scraps from the Prison Table, at Camp Chase and Johnson's Island. By Joe Barbiere, Lieut. Col. late C. S. A. Doylestown, Pa. : W. W. Davis, Printer, 18G8. Cloth. 8 vo. pp. S97, with 8 Full Page Illustrations. The author was a Confederate officer of the First Alabama Regiment, and was captured at the battle of Island No. lo. The book purports to give his experience and observations while a prisoner at Camp Chase, near Columbus, and Johnson's Island, in Sandusky Bay. It is evidently overdrawn and unreliable as to facts, and consists largely in abuse of the Union cause and glorification of the South and slavery. The writer was during the Cleveland administration, appointed as clerk in the Pension Department and was the subject of attacks by the Grand Army of the Republic on account of his statements in this book. In a letter to a personal friend, he wrote : "Now, my dear sir, as to this book. It was written and published when passion ran high — between 1865 and 1870 — and when rum ran like water. Seventeen years of quiet life and total abstinence from intoxi- cants for twelve years enable me to see things differently — not to hold a position in the Pension Office, as I shall resign. * * * * I deeply and sincerely regret what I may have said that is deemed offensive in this book. That is all I can do. This, with intelligent and reasonable men will condone the offense." Nevertheless, the book is interesting. It contains readable descriptions, and sketches of the Confederate officers imprisoned at Johnson's Island, and comments on the military situations of the time. The appendix contains the roster of prisoners confined at John.son's Island, and exchanges in September 1862. (21) 22 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO [38] Bake (T. H.) A discourse delivered by Rev. T.

This book had a very extensive circulation in the campaign, and is regarded as one of the most reliable of the early Hves of Lincoln. The writer at the time was the political editor of the Cin- cinnati Gazette; he was afterward appointed Commissioner of Pensions by President Lincoln, which office he held for seven years. On his retirement he returned to the Gazette to become its editor. He died at Loveland, Ohio, in 1910, aged 86. He was the last surviving member of the Hamilton County, Ohio, delegation to the Chicago Republican Convention in i860, that nominated Abraham Lincoln for President. [40] Barrett (J.

It is very complete and authoritative. In addition to the life of Mr. Lincoln prior to his inauguration, it gives a condensed history of his administration, including a nar- rative of military operations to the close of the war. The most important public papers, addresses and occasional letters of the President are also found in its pages. An edition of this work was also published in 1864, of which this later one is an extension. [41] Barrett (Joseph H.) Abraham Lincoln and His Presidency. By Joseph H. Barrett, LL. D. Illustrated.

The writer, born in Massachusetts about 1817, graduated from West Point in 1837 ; served as lieutenant of artillery in the Florida War; settled in Cincinnati in 1842 after resigning his commission. In the beginning of the Civil War he was commissioned a brigadier-general of volunteers and organized the Ohio Volunteers in Camps Harrison and Dennison. He was commander of a division when Cincinnati was threatened by a Confederate invasion in 1863. In this brief, but well written paper, he gives his experi- ence in preparing Ohio for the conflict which few believed would come, as well as describes the unpreparedness of the State for action. It is also published in "Sketches of War History" Volume I, by the Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion. BEACH (JOHN N.) 25 [44] Beach (John N.) History of the Fortieth Ohio Vohmteer Infantry.

Written, as stated in its preface, for the benefit and use of the survivors of the repjiment as an outline history only, and offered by the writer "to his old comrades with the hope that they will find it of interest and value." In plain style it records faithfully the organization, campaigns and achievements of the regiment ; also contains letters from former officers detailing their experiences and recollections. The regiment was organ- ized at Columbus, Ohio, in September, October and November, 1861, to serve three years. It was engaged in the following battles and bore a valiant part therein: Middle Creek, Ky., Janu- ary 10, 1862; Pound Gap, Ky., March 14, 1862; Franklin and Harpeth River, Tenn., April 10, 1863; Tullahoma Campaign, Tenn., June 23-30, 1863 ; Chickamauga, Ga., September 19-20, 1863; Lookout Mountain, Tenn., November 24, 1863; Mission Ridge, Tenn., November 25, 1863 ; Ringgold, Ga., November 27, 1863; Resaca, Ga., May 13-16, 1864; Dallas, Ga..

Having been mustered out during the months of October, November and December, 1864, on the loth of the latter month, all owing further service as recruits or veterans, were transferred to the Fifty-First Ohio Veteran Volunteers. [45] Beall (John Y.) Trial of John Y. Beall as a Spy and Guerrillero, by Military Commission. New York: D. Appleton & Com- pany. 1865. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 94. In 1864 the opposition to the prosecution of the war and President Lincoln's administration was open and aggressive in Ohio and Indiana. The sympathy with the South was uncon- cealed and widespread and every form of encouragement was given by this element to the rebellion movement. These sympa- 26 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO thizers were known in the political vernacular of the day as "Copperheads." This condition of affairs encouraged the Con- federate Government at Richmond to undertake a "back door" movement against the Union by way of Lake Erie with Canada as a base of operations. The scheme originated in the mind of John Yates Beall, a 'fearless young Virginian. His plan was to capture the U. S. cruiser "Michigan", an armed vessel lying in Sandusky Bay, liberate the Confederate prisoners at Johnson's Island, capture Sandusky, proceed to Camp Chase at Columbus, Ohio, and liberate the prisoners there, and then with the aid of sympathizers in Ohio and Indiana, inaugurate civil war in the North. Beall carried out his bold plans almost to the point of success. On the 19th of September, 1864, near Kelly's Island, he captured the "Philo Parsons", and the "Island Queen", but his operations were thwarted before he could secure the "Michi- gan". He was captured, tried as a spy and hung at Governor's Island, N. Y., February 24, 1865. This publication contains the official proceedings of the Military Commission that tried Beall. It includes the testimony of witnesses, arguments of counsel and the findings of the com- mission. [46] Beatty (John) The Citizen-Soldier; or Memoirs of a Volunteer. By John Beatty. Cincinnati: Wilstach, Baldwin & Co., Publishers, Nos. 141 and 143 Eace street. 1879. Cloth. 12 mo. pp. 401. A well-written and very interesting narrative of regimental experiences in the Third Ohio Volunteer Infantry. It is taken from the writer's own observations written down at the time and covering the period commencing when his regiment entered Virginia, June 22, 1861, and ends on January i, 1864. The writer has a record distinguished in war, politics, finance and literature. He was born at Sandusky, Ohio, December 16, 1828. He raised a company for the war in April 1861 ; was commissioned lieutenant colonel Third O. V. I., and was with McClellan in the West Virginia campaign. He served under Gen. O. M. Mitchel in his dash through Tennessee; commis- sioned-colonel in the spring of 1862. Fought in the battles of Perryville and Stone River, and was made a brigadier general November 29, 1862. Served in the Tullahoma campaign, the battles of Chickamauga and Chattanooga and in the march to Knoxville for the relief of General Burnside. His military career was brilliant and successful. He was a member of Con- gress from the 8th Ohio District 1867-1873, and served his BEATTY (JOHN) 27 State in many honorary positions. He is the author of "The Citizen Soldier", 1876; "Belle o' Becketts Lane", 1882; "High Tariff or Low Tariff, Which?", 1894; "Answer to 'Coin's Finan- cial School'," 1896; "The Acolhuans", 1902; "McLean: A Romance of the War", 1904. General Beatty is one of the most vigorous and trenchant writers that Ohio has produced. The Third Ohio Volunteer Infantry was organized for the three years' service at Camp Dennison, June 20, 1861, and was mustered out June 21, 1864. It performed splendid work all through its term of service, and especially at Middle Creek Fork, W. Va., July 6, 1861 ; Rich Mountain, W. Va., July 11, 1861; Elkwater, W.

This regiment was mustered in at Camp Dennison during the months of September, October, November and December, 1861, to serve for three years. On the expiration of its term of service, the original members (except veterans) were mus- tered out, and the organization composed of veterans and recruits retained in service until Jan. 17, 1865, when it was consolidated with the Eighty-Third Regiment Ohio Infantry. On July 24, 1865, a Battalion of six companies was organized by the con- solidation of the Eighty-Third and One Hundred and Four- teenth Regiments. Two companies, E and F, were mustered out October 14, 1865, by reason of expiration of term of ser- vice. The remaining four companies. A, B, C, and D, were retained in service until May 9, 1866, when they were mus- tered out at Galveston, Texas, in accordance with orders from the War Department. This regiment honorably participated in the following battles: Shiloh, Tenn., April 6-7, 1862; Corinth, Miss., October 3-4, 1862; Chickasaw Bayou, Miss., BERRY (CHESTER D.) 29 December 28-29, 1862; Arkansas Post, Ark., January 11, 1863; Port Gibson, Miss., May r, 1863; Jackson, Miss., May 14, 1863; Champion Hills, Miss., May 16, 1863 ; Big Black River, Miss., May 17, 1863; Vicksburg, Miss., (Siege) May 18, to July 4, 1863; Carrion Crow Bayou, La., November 3, 1863; Sabine Cross Roads, La., April 8, 1864; Fort Blakeley, Ala., April 9, 1865. This history is a valuable regimental record; the writers say: "We began arranging and compiling the material, consist- ing of our old army letters, diaries, company record, official re- ports, etc., etc., in 1870, and had it ready for the press in 1873; but owing to various causes we have delayed its publication until the present time". In addition, the work contains (pp. 200-272) an account of the escape and recapture of Maj. J. A. Bering and Lieut. W. J. Srofe, and their prison life. The appendix (pp. 273-290) has a partial list of killed and wounded of the Forty-Eighth Regi- ment at Shiloh, and a roster of the commissioned officers of the regiment. [51] Berry (Chester D.)

The steamboat "Sultana" on the 27th of April, 1865, with 1866 federal soldiers and 33 officers aboard, just released from Cahaba, Ala., Mason and Andersonville, Ga., belonging to the states of Ohio. Indiana, Michigan, Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia, exploded her boilers near Memphis and was Burned to the water's edge. The soldiers aboard were exchanged prisoners returning to their homes. Besides these there were two companies of infantry under arms, and numerous passen- gers, and the crew. The official report of Gen. Huffman says: "The reports and testimony show there were 1,866 troops on board the boat, including 33 paroled officers; one officer who had resigned, and a captain in charge of the guard. Of these, 765, including 16 officers were saved, and 1,101 including 19 officers were lost. There were some 70 cabin passengers and 30 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO 85 crew on board, of whom 12 to 18 were saved, giving the loss of 137; making the total loss 1,238". This volume is compiled by one of the survivors and con- tains numerous individual narratives by those who passed through the awful event. Many of the contributors are Ohioans. The official list of exchanged prisoners on the boat at the time is given, and 547 were from Ohio; and 18 from Ohio were known to be aboard, but not reported in the official list. This makes a total of 565 from Ohio regiments, or nearly one-third of all aboard. The book is valuable on account of the personal and official information relating to Ohio soldiers, although it is crudely thrown together. It has neither table of contents nor index.

Written in the midst of the war by one who was present in the field and camp with General Rosecrans. The Fourteenth Army Corps was originally the "Army of the Ohio". Many Ohio regiments were in this organization. The author was a war correspondent during part of the war. His letters and dispatches soon gave him a valuable and reliable reputation. He was given the rank of captain and afterwards major on General Rosecrans' staflf. He was born at Cincinnati, March 30, 1827, and spent his life in newspaper work. In 1863 Major Bickham bought the Dayton Journal and for a lifetime ranked as one of the prominent and aggressive Republican editors of Ohio. [53] Bingham (John A.) State of the Union. Speech of Hon. John A. Bing- ham, of Ohio, in the House of Representatives, January 22, 1861. Washington : Printed at the office of the Con- gressional Globe. 1861. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 8. BINGHAM (JOHN A.) 31 This speech was made on the report of the Committee of Thirty-three; see "Corwin, Thomas". The report was conciHa- tory and compromising. Mr. Bingham argued against it posi- tively in this expression of great force and eloquence. He was bitterly opposed to slavery and would not be a party towards its protection either in the South or elsewhere. John A Bingham was born at Mercer, Pennsylvania, Janu- ary 21, 1815. He was one of the most striking and picturesque figures in national politics for many years. He was one of the powerful founders and leaders of the Republican party before and during the war, serving in Congress from 1855 to 1863 and from 1865 to 1873. As special judge-advocate in the trial of President Lincoln's assassins he distinguished himself by his eloquent presentation of the case and by his clear and analytical statement of the evidence. He was Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the House, and was one of the managers in the impeachment trial of President Johnson. After his career in Congress he served as Minister to Japan for twelve years. In October, 1901, his fellow citizens of Cadiz, Ohio, unveiled a monument in honor of his memory as one of the greatest states- men of the Civil War times. [54] Bingham (John A.) Speech of Hon. John A. Bingham, of Ohio, in reply to Hon. John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky, in the House of Representatives, April 11, 1862, on the bill to emanci- pate slaves, and to prohibit slavery and perpetuate liberty forever in the National Capital. Washington, D. C. : Scammell & Co., Printers. 1862. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 8. Mr. Crittenden had opposed the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia on the ground that it was an inauspicious time to exercise this power. He conceded that Congress had the exclusive right over the District for this and all other purposes. Mr. Bingham in this speech urges the passage of the pending bill with force and eloquence. He argues on the same line ap- parent in all his speeches against slavery. He concluded as fol- lows : "I would have the declaration made here now, beneath the dome of the Capitol, careless of all consequences upon the fu- ture conduct of traitors in arms against us, that no man shall ever, in the coming future, as long as the Republic stands, here, at least, where our power of legislation is supreme, be deprived of his life, of his liberty, or of his property without due process of law; and that slavery or involuntary servitude shall never 32 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO be tolerated here in all the hereafter, except as punishment for crime upon due conviction. That is simple justice; nothing more, nothing less ; and it does seem to me that further argument in favor of a proposition resting upon the broadest, clearest prin- ciples of simple, even-handed justice is unnecessary. One year ago this day, slavery opened its batteries of treason upon your garrison in Fort Sumter at Charleston; let the anniversary of that crime be signalized by the banishment of slavery forever from the national capital." [55] Bingham (John A.) "The Constitution as It Is." Speech of Hon. John A. Bingham, of Ohio, in reply to Mr. Norton, of Missouri. Delivered in the House of Repi-esentatives, January 9, 1863. Washington : Printed by L. Towers & Co. 1863. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 8. An elaborate and bitter arraignment of the leaders of the Democratic party for their responsibility in aiding secession, and especially directed at Mr. Vallandigham for his proposing a constitutional amendment to divide the Union into four sec- tions and permitting under certain conditions any state to with- draw from the Union. The speech is in Mr. Bingham's most virile style and expresses his criticisms in bold and scathing language. [56] Bingham (John A.) Shall the Government Surrender to the Rebellion? Speech of Hon. John A. Bingham, of Ohio, in reply to Hon. C. L. Vallandigham. Delivered in the House of Repre- sentatives, Jan. 14, 1863. Washington, D. C. : n. p. 1863. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 16. Mr. Vallandigham had offered a joint resolution proposing amendments to the Constitution dividing the United States into four sections, as follows : Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jer- sey and Pennsylvania to be known as the North ; Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas to be known as the West; Oregon and California to be known as the Pacific; and Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, I\Iississippi, Louis- iana, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri to BINGHAM (JOHN A.) 33 be known as the South. This amendment offered in the most critical period provoked the most bitter debates in Congress. The amendment also conferred the right of secession to any state of its section. In this speech Mr. Bingham replies at length to Mr. Vallandigham's proposition, and denounces his attitude in Congress and out as treasonable. [57] Bingham (John A.)

Delivered June 27th and 28th, 1865, before the Military Commission, Washington, D. C. Washington : Government Printing Office. 1865. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 122. In this extensive argument, Mr. Bingham reviews, analyzes and compares all the testimony relative to Mr. Lincoln's assas- sination. It is a strong presentation of the evidence surround- ing one of the most useless and unjustifiable crimes in history. [58] Bingham (John A.) Policy of the President. Speech of Hon. John A. Bingham, of Ohio, delivered in the House of Representa- tives, January 9, 1866. Washington: Printed at the Con- gressional Globe Office. 1866. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 8. Mr. Bingham, together with Thaddeus Stevens, and others, represented the radical element of the Republican party in Con- gress at this time. President Andrew Johnson had not as yet broken with his party. This speech was in defense of the Presi- dent's policy of reconstruction as then understood, and like all of Mr. Bingham's public utterances was brilliant and compre- hensive. It is a valuable contribution to the political literature 34 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO of that day and necessary in a study of the condition of the country during the time of the reconstruction of the Southern States. Mr. Bingham's speeches at this period form an interest- ing collection of discussions on the public questions involved, and can be read by the student of the Civil War with instruction and profit.

Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 8. An unusually valuable and interesting speech on this sub- ject. Mr. Blake goes into the history of the establishment of Washington as the National Capital and completely answers the claim made by pro-slavery men, that the maintenance of slavery in the District of Columbia was a part of the considera- tion for the location of the capital. He charges the stunted growth and retarded progress of the city to the presence of slavery and its surroundings. [66] Blake (Harrison G.) Our Country before Party. Speech of Hon. H. G.

A conservative and legal argument on the right of the Gov- ernment to confiscate the property of rebels as provided in the BLISS ( GEORGE) 37 Act of Congress approved July 17, 1862. The author reviews the English doctrine of the punishment for treason, as well as the American authorities on that subject. Mr. Bliss served in the Thirty-Third and Thirty-Eighth Congresses and was one of the prominent Ohioans who called on President Lincoln to pro- test against the arrest of Vallandigham under General Burnside's Order No. 38.

Washington : n. p. January, 1865. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 7, Mr. Bliss found this a sufficient opening to express in print his views upon a number of questions that were agitating the public mind. He denied, as the resolutions stated, that slavery was the cause of our National calamities, but averred that "un- lawful aggressions" upon that institution had been the source of all the evils referred to by the Legislature. He was opposed to political equality for the Negro, and had been against the policy of the Government toward certain Northern white men. Aside from these the measure could not be adopted for the rea- son that eleven States were unrepresented in Congress. A foot note states that since the reply was written, the measure had been put to vote in the House and declared carried though "two- thirds of the House did not concur in its passage." 38 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO [70] Bond (Lewis H.)

By Companion Lewis H. Bond, Brevet Major U. S. Volunteers. Cincin- nati : H. C. Sherick and Co. 1887. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. lo. During the year 1864 there occurred in Ohio a capture which in interest equalled, if it did not exceed, that of Major Andre of Revolutionary times. Lieutenajit Samuel B. Davis of the Confederate army, a relative of Jeflferson Davis, was sent by him on a secret mission to Ohio. He was a young officer, twenty-four years of age, tall and* slender, and prepossessing in appearance. He was arrested as a spy. The author of this paper was appointed judge-advocate of the court-martial which tried him. His story is one of the romances of Ohio war history.

A severe, if not savage, criticism of the "Memoirs of Gen- eral W. T. Sherman". In the controversy that arose between Sherman and Stanton he defends the latter and disparages the former's military renown. It is valuable as showing how minds may differ when viewing from different standpoints, and that minor details or discrepancies of statements are nonessential when great success is eventually attained. General Sherman's fame is built upon what he accomplished and the criticisms of this book cannot unmake history. BOYNTON (H. V.) 39 [72] BOYNTON (H. V.) Chattanooga and Chickamauga. Reprint of Gen.

Boynton ranks as one of the most prolific of the Ohio writers concerning the Civil War. In this and the works fol- lowing, and his writings for many years as the Correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette and Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, he did much to contribute to the perpetuation of historical events of the war. This reprint has value because it is the work of an eye wit- ness and participant. Gen. Boynton was commissioned Major of the Thirty-Fifth Ohio Infantry July 29, 1861. He was brev- etted Brigadier-General March 13, 1865, "for good conduct at the battles of Chickamauga and Mission Ridge". On account of wounds, he resigned at Chattanooga September 8, 1864. He entered the field of literature and journalism and won great reputation as a Washington correspondent. In these pages Gen. Boynton has given the details of two of the most important battles of the War, and has established their correct history. Many Ohio regiments and commanders are mentioned therein, and tlieir movements are given with par- ticularity. Maps accompany the letters. [73] Boynton (H. V.)

This is not only a guide and description of the great Na- tional Parks of Chattanooga and Chickamauga, but is a history of the battles which they commemorate, and whose dead they protect, written in General Boynton's best style. No other wri- ter of the Civil War was better qualified to act as historian of these great battles than this Ohio General. He was the chair- man and the historian of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park Commission, established by authority of Congress. Chapter VI contains the complete organization of the Army of the Cumberland, commanded by Gen. William S. Rosecrans at the Battle of Chickamauga, fought September 19, 20, 1863.

The first suggestion which is to be found anywhere in print of the organization out of which this national memorial has grown was in a letter written by General Boyn- ton on the 17th day of August, 1888, after his return from a visit to the battlefield. At the meeting of the Society of the Cumberland, on the 20th of September, of the same year, a prac- tical step was taken by the appointment of a committee of five "for the purpose of taking the necessary steps to inaugurate a 42 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO movement for the purchase of the ground on which the battle of Chickaniauga was fought; that monuments may be placed thereon to mark the location of the troops that fought there, and that it may be preserved similar to the plan of the battle- field of Gettysburg". From thenceforward General Boynton was officially connected with the creation and preservation of the park until his death. This publication contains a full legislative history of the park referred to, also the speeches delivered at the dedication as well as the ceremonies and addresses of the different state celebrations at the same time.

In the various current notices of the "Fighting McCooks" they are often spoken of as one family, but were in fact two families, the sons of Major Daniel McCook and Dr. John Mc- Cook, brothers.

[79] BaouGH (John) Speech of John Brough at the Union Mass Meeting at Marietta, Ohio, June 10, 1863. Springfield, Ohio : Spring- field Republic. 1863. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 8. John Brough was one of the strongest characters in Ohio civil life during the momentous period of the war, and was the third and the greatest of the war governors of the State. He was born at Marietta, September 17, 181 1. Was one of the leading Democratic editors of Ohio, owning and editing news- papers at Marietta and Lancaster up to 1835, when he was elected to the State Senate. In 1839 he was elected State Au- ditor; it was in this office that he developed his executive and financial ability. He retired from this office in 1846 and founded the Cincinnati Enquirer. In 1848 he entered the railroad busi- ness. He was a positive and patriotic Democrat and at the com- mencement of the Rebellion, he urged the obliteration of party lines, and supported the Union ticket in 1861, headed by David Tod — a war Democrat. The campaign of 1863 in Ohio was a critical and important one for the National Government. C. L. Vallandigham, an exile by decree of President Lincoln, was nominated for Governor by the Democrats. Governor Tod was not acceptable to the Union Republican party, and the eyes of the state were turned to John Brough. A week after this speech was delivered he was nominated as the Union Republican can- didate for Governor. A life-long Democrat he championed Lincoln and the Union cause in the ever memorable campaign of 1863. Va^andigham represented practical disloyalty to the 44 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO government. He was opposed to the prosecution of the war, favored peace with the Southern Confederacy and cast his influ- ence wholly against the administration of Mr. Lincoln, which at this time stood for Union and Constitutional supremacy. The campaign was characterized by mingled feelings of enthusiasm and bitterness. Brough was an orator of great power and elo- quence and conducted his canvass with strength and ability. He was elected by a plurality of 100,882. He died in ofifice, August 29, 1865, at Cleveland, Ohio.

This speech was delivered July 4, 1863 at Dayton, Ohio, and was the first of Mr. Brough's public utterances as the Union candidate for Governor of Ohio against Clement L. Vallandig- ham, the Democratic candidate. It is at the same time an appeal to his fellow Democrats to support the Union cause and a bitter denunciation of those opposing the National administration. He was an orator of uncommon vigor and eloquence. This pamphlet contains President Lincoln's reply to the Albany Committee of New York Democrats; see "Lincoln, Abraham", and also his reply to the Committee of Ohio Demo- crats protesting against Vallandigham's arrest.

Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 10. John Brough, Union Republican, was elected Governor over C. L. Vallandigham, Peace Democrat, after the most ex- citing canvass since the Harrison campaign of 1840. His po- sition and platform was the prosecution of the war and uncon- ditional fidelity to the administration of Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Val- BROUGH (jOHN) 45 landigham favored peace and a settlement of the war on con- ditions indefinite and unpatriotic. Governor Brough in his in- augural simply reaffirmed in aggressive terms the principles on which he made his canvass. He devoted his address entirely to war matters, both State and National. He especially advocated caring for the family of the soldiers and to that end favored the increase of the war tax for that purpose and he urged that Ohio do everything in its power to aid the National Government in suppressing the rebellion. Said he, "There are but two ways in which the restoration of peace and the Union is to be ac- complished : first, the unconditional surrender of the leaders, and the abandonment of the rebellion ; or second, the continued progress and conquest of our arms, until the military power of the Confederacy is broken, and the heart of the rebellion is crushed. All intermediate plans or schemes are mere palliatives, that like our compromises of the past fifty years, will only serve to procrastinate existing evils ; restoring peace that will require constant watchfulness and concessions ; and prosperity that will be dependent upon almost annual sacrifices to avoid future de- mands and insurrection. In view of the permanence of our government and the integrity of our Union, there is no such thing as compromise with rebels in arms against both. Turn from it as we may, the great truth is apparent to every reason- ing mind, that submission or subjugation for the leaders of the rebellion, are the only means of restoring peace and good gov- ernment again". Governor Brough's administration followed these lines and all through his term, until his death, he gave to the State and Nation untiring energy, great executive force and every patriotic endeavor to sustain the Union cause.

This speech was delivered in the presidential campaign of 1864, and is a strong and patriotic denunciation of the position of the Democracy of that year. He attacks the record of Gen. McClellan, the Democratic nominee for the presidency and the platform on which he is running. The speech had a wide cir- culation throughout the country that year and did much to se- cure Mr. Lincoln's re-election.

The wisdom of the State in maintaining agencies at different points throughout the country for the assistance of Ohio soldiers, became apparent early in the war. These agents were located at Washington, D. C, Louisville, Ky., Nashville, Tenn., Chattanooga, Tenn., St. Louis, Mo., Memphis, Tenn., New Orleans, La., Vicksburg, Miss., and in Ohio at Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Crest- line and Gallipolis. They were under salaries and reported fully to Governor Brough their acts and proceedings. In these "Operations" will be found evidences of much useful work done for Ohio soldiers at the various points named. They are full of suggestions and plans, all carried out, by Governor Brough for the benefit of the soldiers of Ohio at the front, in camp, field and hospital.

This is a review of the relations of the two parties — Re- publican and Democratic — to the maintenance of the Union during the War. Mr. Campbell argues that were it not for the support that Democrats gave the government in 1861-1865 the Rebellion could not have been suppressed. He contends that Secession destroyed party lines in the North and that the Union men of both parties acted together, both on the field and at home, for support of the Union cause. The speech is a power- ful plea in behalf of the patriotism of Union Democrats of the North in the Civil War. James E. Campbell was born at Middletown, Ohio, July 7, 1843, secured an academic education, was admitted to the bar, served in the United States Navy during the war, was member of Congress 1883-1889, and was elected Governor of Ohio in 1889.

He also described domestic disloyalty in Ohio during the War. He said that the declaration of Sir Thomas Pownall, once British Colonial Governor, that "America has be- come a new primary planet which must shift the center of grav- ity of the world" began to be fulfilled by the Civil War. That his comrades might estimate at its true value the contributions to the Grand Army of three States of the Ohio River border sec- tion — Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, he showed that the grand ag- gregate was: Infantry, 510 regiments; Cavalry, 439 regiments; Artillery, 6 regiments and 30 light batteries; total, about 600,000 enlisted men. Ohio alone, he said, furnished 198 regiments of infantry; 13 regiments of cavalry; 2 full regiments and 26 light batteries of artillery; or more than populous New York, and more than all of anti-slavery New England.

Cloth. 12 mo. pp. 198, with Portraits. This is one of the first Ohio regimental histories written after the war. As the pioneer publication of its class its literary value will stand comparison with many of its successors. It is a faithful chronicle of the life and hardships of the regiment. The Eighty-First O. V. I. was recruited in the counties of Allen, Highland, Ottawa, Adams, and Morrow. It was mustered in during the months of August and September, 1861, and was finally mustered out July 13, 1865.

This regiment was raised in and around Toledo; James B. Steedman was Colonel until July 17, 1862, when he was pro- moted to be a Brigadier-General. This brief little history is a clearly written record without any reference to details or official information. It is a narrative of the progress and actions of the regiment during its service and that only in a most general CHASE (salmon P.) 59 way. It contains also a roll of members of the regiment both in the three months' and three years' service. The following is the list of battles in which the Fourteenth Ohio was honorably engaged: Wild Cat, Ky., October 21, 1861 ; Mill Springs, Ky., January 19-20, 1862; Shiloh, Tenn., April 6-7, 1862; Siege of Corinth, Miss., April 30, 1862; Hoover's Gap, Tenn., June 27, 1863 ; Chickamauga, Ga., September 19-20, 1863; Mission Ridge, Tenn., November 25, 1863; Ringgold, Ga., November 27, 1863; Dalton, Ga., May 9, 1864; Resaca, Ga., May 13-16, 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, June 9-30, 1864; Utoy Creek, Ga., August 5-7, 1864; Jonesboro, Ga., September i, 1864, and Goldsboro, N.

Governor Chase attended the Peace Conference which as- sembled at Washington, in February, 1861, under an invitation from the State of Virginia. His speech on that occasion in the interests of peace is of great historical importance. It was pub- lished in pamphlet form and widely circulated at the time. Salmon P. Chase was born at Cornish, New Hampshire, January 13, 1808. Came to Ohio with Bishop Philander Chase when nine years of age. Studied law under William Wirt at Washington, D.

Washington: printed by W. H. Moore. 1863. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 36. This pamphlet was published and widely circulated by the Union League Association. No State election aroused more in- terest in Washington in 1863 than the one in Ohio. The result was thought far from certain, and all Ohioans were importuned to go home to vote. Mr. Chase had made two or three appoint- ments to speak in Ohio, but public business each time prevented. Not until the Friday afternoon preceding election Tuesday could he arrange his affairs for a few days absence. The train arrived in Columbus at two o'clock Saturday morning, and the Secre- tary was astonished to find a large concourse awaiting him to conduct him to a hotel, where he was compelled to make a speech. On Monday morning at nine o'clock he made another address in Columbus in the hall of the Loyal Legion. On the way to Cin- cinnati he made short talks in the Columbus depot, at Xenia, Morrow and Camp Dennison. Escorted to the Burnet House by military, Federal and municipal officers, he addressed the peo- ple from the balcony. That evening he made a long address at Mozart Hall, and following the election on Tuesday night was again obliged to address his fellow-townsmen. On Wednesday he spoke at Lawrenceburg, Greensburg and Shelbyville, ending the day with a great speech at Indianapolis. Returning east- ward, he spoke at Columbus in front of the Capitol Wednesday night, reaching Washington on Friday. The speeches made by Mr. Chase, together with one made in Baltimore on September 29 are printed in full in this publication. ["4] Chase (Salmon P.) The Diary and Correspondence of Salmon P. Chase.

The Thirty-Ninth was the first body of Ohio troops to en- camp on Missouri soil, arriving in St. Louis August 20, 1861. Soon thereafter the regiment was divided, detachments being sent, with other troops, to different parts of that State to dis- perse the marauders and guard and defend Union people and property. At the time the Chaplain's eloquent and patriotic dis- course was delivered, only five Ohio companies were at Camp Tod. The Chaplain's history of the regiment ends with Decem- ber 21, 1861. He gives the names of the staff, field and band officers; shows the county or place where each company was organized (all in Southern Ohio), with the names of its offi- cers ; and also gives the names of all who had died, with the cause of death, to December 12, 1861. This regiment was organized at Camp Dennison in August, 1861, to serve three years. Its record of service is as follows: New Madrid, Mo., March 3-5 and March 13, 1862; Island No. 10, Tenn., April 8, 1862; luka, Miss., September 19-20, 1862; Corinth, Miss., October 3-4, 1862; Parker's Cross Roads, Tenn., December 31, 1862; Atlanta Campaign, May 5 to September 8, 1864; Resaca, Ga., May 13-16, 1864; Dallas, Ga., May 25 to June 4, 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 9-30, 1864; Nicka- jack Creek, Ga., July 2-5, 1864; Chattahoochee River, Ga., July 6-10, 1864; Peach Tree Creek, Ga., July 20, 1864; Atlanta, Ga., (Hood's First Sortie) July 22, 1864; Jonesboro, Ga., August 31 and September i, 1864; Lovejoy Station, Ga., September 2-6, 1864; River's Bridge, S.

Mil- ler of Ohio, was selected to present resolutions and an address to the country. Mr. Long was offered the nomination for the Presidency, but declined. After adopting resolutions condemn- ing both Lincoln and McClellan and the Republican and Demo- cratic platforms and a very lengthy address, the Convention ad- journed sine die, without making nominations. One of the reso- lutions stated "that for the welfare of our own laborers, as well as for the cause of truth, we declare that negro slavery among the mingled millions of Southern whites and blacks is the only condition of prosperous society."

Cox, Lytle, Mitchel and Force, mingled scholarship with their military experience, in- deed, they were scholars before they were soldiers. In this work we have a skilled and thorough history of the Army of the Cumberland from its formation to the end of the battles at Chattanooga, in November, 1863. Henry M. Cist was born in Cincinnati, February 20, 1839, was graduated at Farmer's College, Oxford, Ohio, in 1858 and studied law. In April, 1861, he enlisted as a private in tlie Sixth CLARK (ALEXANDER) 63 Ohio Infantry. He was promoted to second lieutenant in the Fifty-Second Ohio Infantry and then to adjutant in the Seventy- Fourth Ohio Infantry and was post-adjutant of Camp Chase during the confinement of the prisoners captured at Fort Donel- son. He afterward served as assistant adjutant-general of the army of the Cumberland under Generals Rosecrans and Thomas, and was brevetted brigadier-general. After the war he returned to Cincinnati and resumed the practice of law. He was for many years secretary of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland. He contributed to periodicals many articles on the Civil War, and edited the reports of the Society of the Army of the Cum- berland, comprised of seventeen volumes. He died at Rome, Italy, in 1902.

It received its nickname — The "Opdycke Tigers" — for its heroic conduct on the battlefield of Chickamauga. It was on the second day of the battle, Sunday, September 20, 1863, when the regiment, fighting under the direct observation of its division commander. Gen. Thomas J. Wood, was called by him the name that it car- ried through and since the war. From that date the One Hun- dred and Twenty-Fifth O. V. I. seldom passed another command 64 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO without hearing such expressions as "There go the Tigers." "How are you Tigers?" "Go in Tigers." The volume is typographically far above the ordinary regi- mental history in excellence. Its hundreds of portraits of com- manders, officers, and men of the regiment add to its value and interest. Its literary style is of the best, and the description of the regiment's part in the battle of Chickamauga, as well as the general history narrated, stamps it as the work of a pains- taking and attractive writer. It also contains the proceedings of the annual reunions to the date of publication, of the regi- ment, including the twelfth — July 3, and 4, 1895. This regiment was recruited in the fall of 1862 and was organized by Colonel Emerson Opdycke of Trumbull County. It was mustered out of service at Camp Chase, October 17, 1865. It was distinguished for hard fighting whenever engaged. On various occasions its worth was publicly commended by its com- manders. At the battle of Franklin, after the battle was over. General Thomas rode up and said: "Colonel Opdycke, your brigade saved the army at Franklin and saved Nashville". In addition to its numerous skirmishes it was engaged in the fol- lowing battles: Franklin, Tenn., April 10, 1863; Chickamauga, Ga., September 19-20, 1863 ; Mission Ridge, Tenn., November 25, 1863; Dandridge, Tenn., January 17, 1864; Rocky Face Ridge, Ga., May 8-9, 1864; Resaca, Ga., May 14-15, 1864; Adairsville, Ga., May 17, 1864; Cassville, Ga., May 19, 1864; New Hope Church, Ga., May 27 to June 4, 1864; Pine Moun- tain, Ga., June 14-15, 1864; Muddy Creek, Ga., June 18, 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, June 19, 23 and 27, 1864; Nancy's Creek — Buck Head, Ga., July 18, 1864; Peach Tree Creek, Ga., July 20, 1864; Siege of Atlanta, July 28 to August 31, 1864; Jones- boro, Ga., September i, 1864; Lovejoy Station, Ga.^ September 2-4, 1864; Spring Hill, Tenn., November 29, 1864; Franklin, Tenn., November 30, 1864; and Nashville, Tenn., December 15- 16, 1864.

Under the thin disguise of romance, the author has written a stirring history and a touching story of ante-bellum days in Southeastern Ohio. The underground railroad, the slave auc- tion and the call to arms in 1861 are pictured in a vivid and faithful narrative. The events are all historical and in some cases the names of the actors are not even assumed but are given in fact. [125] Cochran (William C.) General Jacob Dolson Cox.

When the call for volunteers was made by the President, April 15, 1861, the State was without any organized subsistence department. This emergency was creditably met as shown by this report. October ist, 1861, the General Government assumed all expense of subsisting troops and the business of the Commissary General's office closed. The report contains statistics of subsistence commutations of rations and contingent expenses. A list of the camps of the State, twenty-one in number, is given with the names of the contractors furnishing the suppHes. The average cost per ration was 14.18 cents, and 650,000 complete rations were furnished by the State. Report made by Columbus Delano, Commissary General.

The daily papers of that period are evidently the basis of its information, as it contains letters from the scene of action from the Cincinnati Gazette, Cleveland Herald and Richmond Enquirer.

The Thirty-Sixth Congress to which Mr. Corwin had been elected as Representative, met on Monday, December 5, 1859. coRwiN (thomas) 73 There was an unprecedented delay in the organization of the House. The Republicans supported Hon. John Sherman, of Ohio, for Speaker, but no party had a clear majority. The slavery question was injected after the first ballot, by Hon. John B. Clark, of Missouri, who offered a resolution condemning a book entitled, "The Impending Crisis of the South — How to Meet It," by Hinton R. Helper, and declaring that no member who had indorsed the book was worthy of the Speakership. Mr. Sherman and a large majority of the Republicans had com- mended it to the public. It was in the general discussion on Slavery, the John Brown Raid and Secession that Mr. Corwin delivered this, one of his longest speeches. It is rambling, and lacks continuity and conviction. His only fixed declarations relate to opposition to the extension of slavery. A vein of his inimitable humor runs through the speech. It lacks the force, earnestness and love of principle apparent in the declarations of others, on both sides, on the momentous public questions. Thomas Corwin was born in Bourbon County, Kentucky, July 29, 1794. He removed with his parents to Lebanon, War- ren County, Ohio, in 1798. Was elected to the Twenty-Second Congress in 1830 from the Second District. Had served one term in the Ohio Legislature. In 1832 under another appor- tionment he was elected to the Twenty-Third congress and was successively elected to the Twenty-Fourth, Twenty-Fifth and Twenty-Sixth. In 1840 resigned from Congress to become Gov- ernor of Ohio to which office he had been elected that year. Was defeated for re-election by Wilson Shannon in 1842. In 1844 he was elected by a Whig legislature to the United States Senate. His most famous speech, indeed one of the most famous in the annals of the Senate was that against the Mexican War. It was right and courageous but unpopular. He served as Senator until July, 1850, when he was made Secretary of the Treasury by President Fillmore. In 1858 he was elected to the Thirty- Sixth Congress and in i860 was re-elected to the Thirty-Seventh Congress. He resigned to accept the position of Minister to Mexico in which he served until 1864. He died at Washington, December 18, 1865. [141] COEWiN (Thomas) Thirty- Sixth Gongress, 2d Session. House of Repre- sentatives. Report No. 31.

Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 16. When the second session of the Thirty-Sixth Congress met in December, i860, after the election but before the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln the agitated condition of the country en- gaged the attention of both branches. A "committee of thirty- three" members, consisting of one from each state was appointed by the Speaker on the vote of the House. It tried to formulate some plan of conciliation or compromise. In the perilous con- dition in the interest of peace it proposed in its report, (i) An amendment to the Constitution to the effect that no amendment having for its object any interference with slavery in the States shall ever be made, unless the same shall originate with a slave state and be assented to by all the States. (2) An act for the admission of New Mexico as a slave state without further ac- tion of Congress. (3) An amendment of the Fugitive Slave Law, so that it shall be more efficient for the arrest of fugitive slaves, and (4) An amendment of the act for the rendition of fugitives from justice, so as to give the Federal Court exclusive jurisdiction, and make the indictment prima facie evidence against the accused. Mr. Corwin in this speech urged in the interest of conciliation all four of these propositions. He was willing to do anything to preserve the Union and call back the seceding States. This was his last formal speech in Congress. The spirit and tone of the Northern Congressmen in this ses- sion was almost appealing in their desire to prevent secession ; even an amendment to the Constitution preventing Congress from ever abolishing, or interfering with slavery was adopted .by the Senate and House. But before it could be ratified by the States all efforts at conciliation were lost by reason of the South- ern States seceding. Only two states, Maryland and Ohio, gave their assent to the amendment. All these compromise propo- sitions Mr. Corwin was foremost in advocating. COWEN (b. R.) and COLLINS (WM.

On account of his official position as Adjutant General of Ohio and his previous life long acquaintance with Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War, the author came in frequent con- tact with President Lincoln, particularly in the summer of 1864. In these pages he gives his personal observations and a critical estimate of the great war President. It is this phase that gives the work special value. General Cowen was born at Moor- field, Ohio, August 15, 1831. He began his active life as a journalist. He entered the army the day Fort Sumter was taken, and served as Paj'master in West Virginia and with the Army of the Potomac until after the first battle of Bull Run. He was elected Secretary of State of Ohio in 1861. In January, 1864, he became Adjutant General of Ohio and held that posi- tion until after the close of the war. Under President Grant he was appointed Assistant Secretary of the Interior. Later he had official experience with the Indians of the West. He has writ- ten, "Our Beacon Light" (1884) ; "Our Civilization, the Product of Christianity" (1889); "Do Missions Pay" (1891). He died at Cincinnati in 1908. 76 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO [145J '- Cox (J. D.) Keconstruction and the Relation of the Kaces in the United States. Letter from a committee at Oberlin to Gen. J. D. Cox, the Union candidate for Governor. Gen. Cox's Response. Columbus, Ohio : State Journal Steam Press. 1865. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 13. Gen. Cox is asked in this letter "ist. Are you in favor of modifying our Constitution so as to give the elective franchise to colored men ? 2nd. In the reorganization of the Southern States, should the elective franchise be secured to the colored people?" The answer is able, but does not reply categorically to the questions asked. It is a patriotic appeal to the radical correspondents to let the General Government and time solve the race question in the South. Some of Gen. Cox's declarations are prophetic in his ideas of the future of the colored race. Jacob D. Cox was born in Montreal, Canada, October 27, 1828, while his parents were temporarily sojourning in that place. Removed to Ohio in 1846 and was graduated at Oberlin College in 185 1. In 1859-61 he was a member of the Ohio Sen- ate. He entered the army April 23, 1861, and three weeks later received a commission as brigadier general, and was assigned to Western Virginia. He served with distinction throughout the war; was commissioned major general. Was Governor of Ohio, 1866-7, ^nd Secretary of the Interior in President Grant's cab- inet. He died at Magnolia, Massachusetts, August 4, 1900. He ranks high as a military scholar and author, and is the first of Ohio's contributors to the literature of the Civil War. In addition to the books and pamphlets listed and annotated in this work. General Cox has written many historical and critical articles and reviews relating to the Civil War, which have ap- peared in periodicals and compiled works. To the Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, (The Century Co., New York, 1887), he contributed the following articles: War Preparations in the North, I. 84; McClellan in West Vir- ginia, I. 126; West Virginia Operations under Fremont, II. 278; Forcing Fox's Gap and Turner's Gap, II. 583 ; Battle of An- tietam, II. 260. To Sketches of War History, (Robert Clarke Co., Cincinnati, 1888) he contributed The Surrender of Johns- ton's Army, II. 247. For the British Supplement to the Encyclo- paedia Britannica (1900) he wrote the article on General Sher- man. The following articles appeared in the American Histor- ical Review (New York) : Life of General George Gordon Meade, April 1898; Life of Oliver P. Morton, April 1899; The cox (j. D.) 77 Life of Abraham Lincoln, July 1900; in The Bugle, (Cincin- nati) A Model Soldier, December 16, 1884; in the Atlantic Monthly, (Boston), Why the Men of '61 Fought for the Union, March, 1892; in the Century Magazine, (New York) Why the Confederacy Failed, February, 1897. For many years General Cox regularly reviewed in the Nation (New York) the current literature of the Civil War. These reviews form an important contribution to the military history of the country and are valuable in acquiring a complete knowl- edge of the events of the Rebellion period, on account of their official and historical accuracy.

Cleveland, Ohio, July 4th, 1894. Cincinnati: n. p. 1910. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 15. The day and the occasion united to recall both the Revolu- tion and the Civil War, "Both," said Mr. Foraker, "began as rebellions. Both had relation to natural, governmental and human rights. There was no question of territory, balance of power, or international statecraft or diplomacy in either. Both broadened as they proceeded, until the issues finally joined and determined were different, higher and better than those involved at the beginning." He then proceeds to draw a comparison of the principles in- volved in each of these great events. He traces the origin of the Federal Constitution, discusses the right of secession and human slavery. The address is a valuable historical review of the ques- tions at issue before and during the war. [241] FORAKEU (J. B.) Remarks of Senator J. B. Foraker In Connection with the Exercises held at the Re-interment of General W. S. Rosecrans in Arlington Cemetery, May 17, 1902, Wash- ington, D. C. (Cincinnati: n. p. 1910.) Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 4. This address is a eulogy on General Rosecrans, the soldier, as well as a review of his military service. The orator spoke "as a representative of the State of his (Rosecrans') birth, and the State to which he always looked as his home, and also as a humble representative of the army he commanded when he rendered his most conspicuous service." General Rosecrans en- tered the military service of the Civil War as Colonel of the Twenty-Third Ohio Regiment. Referring to this regiment, 9 130 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO Senator Foraker said: "In that organization there was the most remarkable collection of great men, who were destined to ren- der distinguished public services. With Rosecrans as Colonel were associated E. P. Scammon, who afterwards became a prominent General in the Union Army; Stanley Matthews, who subsequently became an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States; Rutherford B. Hayes, who made a splen- did record as a soldier, attaining the rank of Major General of Volunteers, and afterwards became President of the United States; and William McKinley, who rose from the rank of pri- vate in Company E of that regiment to be its Major, and whose name as President of the United States has become famous to the whole world." Senator Foraker served in the Army of the Cumberland when it was commanded by General Rosecrans. [242] Foraker (J. B.) 57tli Congress, 2n(i Session. Keport No. 2589. Mark- ing the graves of the soldiers of the Confederate Army and Navy. (Washington, D. C. : Government Printing Office. 1903.) Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 25. This is a report by Senator Foraker from the Committee on Military Affairs of the Senate. It recommends the passage of a bill authorizing and directing the Secretary of War to ascer- tain the locations and condition of all the graves of the soldiers of the Confederate Army and Navy in the Civil War, who died in Federal prisons and military hospitals in the North, and who were buried near their places of confinement. It also pro- vided that the Government should acquire possession or con- trol of all grounds, where said dead are buried not now possessed by it or under its control. Two hundred thousand dollars are appropriated to carry out the objects of the bill. The report recites that these Confederate prisoners are buried in different places. Their number is about 30.152. It is estimated that it will cost to carry this legislation into eft"ect in the neighborhood of $200,000. The necessity for making the provision contemplated by this bill arose from the fact that there was no one in charge of these cemeteries. These in many cases were in a state of utter neglect, the inclosures being in a dilapidated condition, and the headboards of the graves having long since rotted away. All these facts are fully set forth in exhibits attached to the report prepared by the War Department, and from data compiled FORAKER (j. B.) 131 by Dr. S. E. Lewis, late assistant surgeon, C. S. Army, and com- mander of the Qiarles Broadway Rouss Camp, No. iioi, United Confederate Veterans. The report further shows that the Confederate prisoners of war who died in Ohio while in the hands of the United States authorities with locality of prison and number of graves to be as follows : Camp Chase: Deaths, 2,108; graves, known, 1900; un- known, 208.

A critical analysis of the career of one of the most im- portant figures of the Civil War Period. As anti-slavery leader. Governor of Ohio. United States Senator, Secretary of the Treasury and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Salmon P. Chase is herein presented as a man of great ability, patriotism and integrity, and at the same time his weaknesses and mistakes are not concealed. This address is an historical review of the life and times of Chase, and he is given the fullest credit for 132 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO the masterful influence he exercised on men and events in his day. As an estimate of his character Senator Foraker con- cludes: "Already he has taken his proper place in history, and in the appreciation of the American people, as the great figure he really was — a strong, massive, patriotic, fearless and con- trolling character in the settlement of the mighty questions that shook to their foundations the institutions of our government. He will be remembered also for the purity of his life, for his domestic virtues, for his deeply religious nature, ever depend- ing on Divine help, and for that love and zeal for humanity that mdde him brave social ostracism and sacrifice, if necessary, all chance of personal political preferment that he might cham- pion the cause of the slave and break the power that held him in fetters. In the light of true history the consistency of his conduct will not be determined by the record of his party affilia- tions, but by the constancy of his devotion to the cause that filled his heart and dominated all his political actions. Measured by that test, few men have run a straighter course or done more to merit a high place in the esteem of their countrymen." This address was delivered upon the invitation of the United States Circuit Court, and the Bar of Illinois. As a literary pro- duction it is the best of Senator Foraker's public utterances and is a fine example of historical style, pure diction and chaste ex- pression. [245] FoRAKEB (Joseph B.)

In this address Senator Foraker enters into a discussion of the problems of the South, especially the race problem. He re- views the war and its results, the greatest of which was the preservation of the Constitution of the United States. After a full review he pronounces the movement for secession "causeless, indefensible and in the light of subsequent events, grotesquely absurd". [247] FOEAKEK (J. B.) Address of Hon. J. B.

General Gibson born in Jefferson County, Ohio, May 16, 1822, organized the Forty-Ninth Ohio Volunteer Infantry early in 1861. He had a brilliant record in the war. His reputation as an orator in Ohio ranks him next to Thomas Corwin. In this address Senator Foraker dwells upon General Gibson's qualities and character. He refers to his great powers of ora- tory, especially in the war time period, and pays a glowing tribute to his gallantry on the battle fields of Shiloh and Stone River. [248] Foraker (J. B.)

Briefly, but clearly, he detailed the operation of the Ohio Home at Sandusky. It was governed by military rules, he said, because among its inmates were some men who require discipline, and they were used to military routine and orders from men with military titles.

FULLER (JOHN W.) 137 The effort of the author, as he declares himself, is to give in this narrative a statement of the facts of Sherman's military life without comment. Owing to failure of health General Force was unable to finish this work, and he called upon Gen- eral J. D. Cox to write the period from the Expedition to Meridian to the setting out upon the march to the sea, and the entire period subsequent to the grand review at Washington. Inasmuch as General Cox was an active participant of these ■events it has added to rather than detracted from the book. [257] Fuller (John W.) "Our Kirby Smith".

The Sixth Street church was filled to overflowing, and the crowd surrounding it was so dense that the pastor himself was unable to gain entrance. After considerable delay, the opera house was secured, but was found too small for the multitude.

Report of Select Committee to whom was referred Senate Bill No. 211; To Punish Treason.

Being the fifth Legislature under the new Constitution. Vol. LVII. Columbus; Richard Nevins, State Printer. 1861. Pages 69-73. ) This bill was introduced by Senator J. A. Garfield, and it was referred to him as a select committee of one to report there- GARFIELD ( JAMES A.) 141 on. Mr. Garfield at this time was the leader of what was known as the "Radical Triumvirate" of the Senate. His associates in this connection were J. D. Cox and James Monroe; one after- wards distinguished himself as General, Governor of Ohio and Secretary of the Interior ; and the other served in Congress from the Oberlin District and was also sent abroad in a diplomatic capacity by Mr. Lincoln. This report written by Mr. Garfield was submitted to the Sen- ate April 15, 1861, two days after the firing upon Fort Sumter. It is his first written expression relating to the Civil War. In it he reviews in a scholarly and judicial manner the law of treason, quoting from Federal and State authorities on the subject. He says : "It should at any time startle us that all the acts of dis- loyalty and treachery enumerated in this bill may be committed against the State of Ohio, and yet subject the offender to no other charge than trespass, or malfeasance in oflfice. Shall Ohio visit the extreme penalty of the law upon the murderer of a citizen, and yet be powerless against him who shall plot the ruin of the State?" Again : "It is high time for Ohio to enact a law to meet treachery when it shall take the form of an overt act — to pro- vide that when her soldiers go forth to maintain the Union, there shall be no treacherous fire in the rear. It is time for Ohio to declare to all her citizens and to all her sister States, that the prosperity of the Union is her prosperity — its friends her friends — its enemies her enemies — its honor her honor — its destiny her destiny — and whosoever strikes a blow at its life, strikes also at hers." James A. Garfield was born at Orange, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, November 17, 1831. He graduated from Williams Col- lege in 1856. In 1857 he was made president of Hiram Col- lege at Hiram, Portage County, Ohio. In 1859 he was elected to the State Senate of Ohio. In 1861 Governor William Dennison commissioned him lieutenant colonel of the Forty-Second Ohio Volunteer Infantry. His military career is referred to in the notes following. He was elected President of the United States in 1880. He died September 19, 1881, as the result of an as- sassin's bullet. [263] Gaefield (James A.) Speech of Hon. James A.

Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 8. 142 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO General Garfield entered the Thirty-Eighth Congress De-' cember 3, 1863. Before leaving the army he had been promoted to a Major Generalship of Volunteers "for gallant and meritori- ous service at the battle of Chickamauga", to take rank from the 19th of September, 1863. He took high rank in Con- gress from the day of his entrance. His military reputation had preceded and secured for him a place on the Committee en Mili- tary Affairs, then the most important in the House. He was soon regarded as an authority on military matters and his opin- ions were sought and listened to. This speech was the first important one that General Gar- field delivered in Congress. It discusses elaborately and with authority one of the gravest questions of legislation, at that time. The confiscation of property for treason attracted the at- tention of Congress early in the war. August 6, 186 1, tlie first confiscation act was passed, and on July 17, 1862, a much more rigorous and sweeping act was passed. Some objection was made to it that it conflicted with the Constitution. January 7, 1864, a joint resolution explanatory of the act was introduced in the House. It was on consideration of this, January 28, that General Garfield spoke. He reviews the law and history of confiscation of property for treason in England and the colonies and lends to the discussion the charm of historical precedent and events. He aggressively sustains the law as just and necessary. [264] Garfield (James A.) Speech of Hon. James A. Garfield, of Ohio, on the Constitutional Amendment to Abolish Slavery.

This was the celebrated Knights of the Golden Circle case. In September and October, 1864, Lambdin P. Milligan, William A. Bowles and Stephen Horsey of Indiana, were arrested by or- der of Major General A. P. Hovey, commanding the Military District of Indiana. On October 21, they were placed on trial at Indianapolis on the following charges preferred by Major Henry L. Burnett, Judge Advocate of the Northwestern Military Dis- trict: I, Conspiracy against the Government of the United States; 2, Affording aid and comfort to rebels against the Gov- ernment of the United States ; 3, Inciting insurrection ; 4, Disloyal practices; 5, Violations of the laws of war. The Commission overruling the objection of the accused against its authority to try them, proceeded with the case, pronounced them guilty and sentenced them to death by hanging. The sentence was ap- proved, but before the day set for execution, the President com- muted it to imprisonment for life, and they were sent to the Ohio Penitentiary. Having been denied a writ of habeas corpus, the attorneys carried their case to the Supreme Court of the United States. On the last day of the December term, 1865, Chief Justice Chase announced the granting of the prayer of the accused. The Order of Court is printed with General Garfield's argument. 144 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO [267] Garfield (James A.) Remarks of Hon.

On the first anniversary of his assassination, General Gar- field paid a short but very beautiful tribute to the memory of President Lincoln. With respect to the War period just ended, he said, "it had been marked by wonderful development of indi- vidual character. Thousands of our people before unknown to fame have taken their places in history crowned with immortal honors. * * * gut greatest among all these * * ♦ were the character and fame of Abraham Lincoln." He declared the assassination not the work of one man alone, "the act was the embodied spirit of treason and slavery inspired with fearful and despairing hate." [268] Garfield (J. A.)

In this speech to his constituents General Garfield reviews the political conditions existing after the war. He dwells at length on financial and military affairs, and discusses the restora- tion of the States lately in rebellion. He severely criticises the position of President Johnson and his policy of reconstruction. [269] Garfield (James A.) Oration of Hon. James A.

GARFIELD (jAMES A.) 145 Asserting that the Nation was summoned to arms by every high motive that can inspire men, he said "we began the war for the Union alone; but we had not gone far out into the dark- ness before a new element was added to the conflict which filled the army and the Nation with cheerful but intense religious en- thusiasm. In lessons that could not be misunderstood, the Na- tion was taught that God had linked to our own, the destiny of an enslaved race — that their liberty and our Union was "one and inseparable." The oration abounded with eloquent tributes to the American soldier. [270] Garfield (James A.) Oration on the Life and Character of General George H.

Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 52. On April 23, 1870, The Richmond (Va.) Dispatch published a letter from General Fitzhugh Lee in which the assertion was made that just before the war, General Thomas's feelings were decidedly Southern; that in 1861, he expressed his intention of resigning his commission in the U. S. Army, and that about the same time he sent a letter to Governor Letcher proffering his services to Virginia. Respecting the truth of these and similar statements, which he asserted none dared to even hint at during General Thomas's lifetime. General Garfield made diligent in- quiry. The result was the complete vindication of General Thomas's memory, the evidence secured being fully and ably pre- sented in this address. An attached appendix contains a roster of the Second U. S. Cavalry in i860, with the date of resigna- tion of those who went into the Rebel service. Also correspond- ence regarding General Thomas and General Lee; General Thomas's military record; the general orders concerning his de- cease, issued by Adjutant General Townsend, of the War De- partment, and the Resolutions of Sympathy adopted by Con- gress.

While this is a personal narrative of army experiences, it is also practically a history of the campaigns, privations and en- gagements of the Second Ohio Volunteer Cavalry. It is one of the best contributions to Ohio regimental literature. The writer was a good observer and has given his readers one of the most interesting narrations of varied and thrilling military service. Commencing with camp life at Cleveland during the organization of the regiment, he chronologically, yet without formality, gives the service of himself and comrades on the Indian Frontier, in Kentucky, Tennessee, and in Virginia. In 1863 they were on General Morgan's trail through Ohio and were in at the capture under their gallant Colonel A. V. Kautz, afterwards General. They were under General Wilson in his raid through Virginia, under Sheridan at Winchester and Cedar Creek and under Cus- ter at Lacey's Springs. The whole narrative reads like a novel but every page records simple history. No better conception of army life and cavalry service has been written. The Second Regiment of Ohio Volunteer Cavalry was re- cruited and organized under the direction of U. S. Senator Benjamin F. Wade and Hon. John Hutchins at Camp Wade, Cleveland, Ohio, in the summer and fall of 1861. It has the record as detailed in this work of campaigning through the states of Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Ten- nessee, Georgia, Alabama, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, and Indian Territory. It marched twenty-seven thousand miles, and served in five different armies. It was engaged honorably and gallantly in the following battles and engagements : Independence, Mo., Prairie Grove, Ark., Carthage, Mo., Newtonia, Mo., Cow Hill, Ark., Wolf Creek, Ark., White River, Ark., Blountsville, Tenn., Bristol, Tenn., Knoxville, Tenn., Mor- ristown, Tenn., Russelville, Tenn., Bean's Station, Tenn., Brandy Station, Va., The Wilderness, Va., Hanover C.

Phil- adelphia: J. W. Daughaday, Publisher. 1863. Cloth. 12 mo. pp. 285, with Full Page Portrait and 5 Pull Page Illustrations. The writer belonged to the Forty-Eighth Ohio Volunteer Infantry and served on the staff of General R. P. Buckland. He was captured at Shiloh and in this volume he tells, to use his own language, "how I was tried for my life before prominent Rebel Generals, among whom were Bragg and Beauregard ; how I was subsequently chained with negro chains and cast into mili- tary prisons and common jails ; how, escaping from these in com- pany with Lieutenant A. P. Collins, I made my way to the swamps ; how we lived in these malarious marshes for three weeks ; how we were hunted with blood hounds ; how we were assisted by slaves in our flight, and lastly, how, being recaptured, we spent weary months in confinement, and were finally released on exchange from our dreadful captivity". This volume is one of the early publications of the war, written for popular consumption. As a rule they do not show literary ability but are valuable for their simple narrative and first hand experience. [273] Gbntscii (Charles) Instantaneous Rigor-Mortis Occasionally Occurring and Observed Upon the Battlefield. A Pai)er read before the Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion, December 4, 1907, by Lieut. Charles Gentsch, M. D, First Lieutenant and Quartermaster 51st O. V. I. Cincinnati : n. p. 1907. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 16. In this paper the writer gives his own and others' observa- tions concerning the phenomena of death on the battlefield, par- ticularly with reference to the supervention of instantaneous rigor-mortis. It is written in popular language, fully within the comprehension of the laymen. His conclusions and observa- tions are to the effect that death was common on the battlefield without leaving a trace. The paper is of intense interest and one of the most attractive, if that term can be applied to such a grue- some subject, read before the Ohio Commandery. 148 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO [274] Gbeard (C.

This is a history of the Eighty-Third Ohio Volunteer In- fantry. "The diaries of four faithful members of the regiment, together with his own, have guided the author in his work, and, except in a few minor details, all have agreed." This regiment was composed principally of men from Hamilton, Butler, War- ren and Putnam counties. The writer has faithfully and in an interesting style told the story of his organization. He records in detail its marches and travels, giving the miles from each point and showing the following result: By rail, 614 miles; by steamer, 7,180 miles; marched 1831 miles, making a total of 9,625 miles. He gives the following list of battles in which his regi- ment took part: Chickasaw Bluffs, Miss., December 28 to 31, 1862; Fort Hindman, Ark., January 11, 1863; Greenville, Miss., February 20, 1863; Magnolia Hills and Port Gibson, Miss., May I, 1863; Champion Hills, Miss., May 6, 1863; Black River, Miss., May 17, 1863 ; Siege of Vicksburg, Miss., May 14 to July 4, 1863; Jackson, Miss., July 10, 1863; Opelousas, La., September 21, 1863; Carrion Crow Bayou, La., November 3, 1863; Sabine Cross Roads, La., April 8, 1864; Cane River, La., April 28, 1864; Moore's Plantation, La., May 2, 1864; Atchafalaya River, La., October 4 and 17, 1864, and Blakely, Ala., April 2 to 9, 1865. This regiment was organized at Camp Dennison, Ohio, in August and September, 1862, to serve three years. [275] Gholson (W. Y.) Speech of Hon. W. Y.

This volume, compiled from records kept during the war, although its author's name does not appear on the title page, was written by Samuel L. Gillespie, the bugler of the company. It is a creditable history and does not undertake to record any mili- tary service except that of Co. A. It forms a good supplemen- tary volume to the History of the First Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, see "Curry, W.

Bos- ton : John P. Jewett & Company. 1853. Cloth. 12 mo. pp. 511, with Full Page Portrait. In this volume are Mr. Giddings' noted anti-slavery speeches up to the date of publication. He was the leading abolitionist of Ohio before the war, and his agitation of the slavery ques- tion did more to arouse public sentiment on that subject in his state than the utterances of any other public man. His speeches are inseparably connected with the literature of the Civil War. Joshua R. Giddings was born at Athens, Pa., October 6, 1795. He was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1820, and elected a member of the Ohio Legislature in 1826. He was elected to Congress in 1838 and served for twenty consecutive years. In his speeches he prophesied the Civil War and as a political aboli- tionist sought to hasten it by an uncompromising warfare against slavery. In 1861 President Lincoln appointed him Consul Gen- eral to Canada. While occupying that position he died at Mon- treal, May 27, 1864. 150 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO '> [278] GiDDiNGS (Joshua R.) History of the Rebellion : Its Authors and Causes. By Joshua R. Giddings. New York : FoUett, Foster & Co. 1864. Cloth. 8 vo. pp. 498. This work is mainly devoted to the Congressional debates on the slavery question and an exposition of the action of the government relative thereto. It covers the whole period from the commencement of the Nation to the Emancipation Proclama- tion. It is more of a contribution to history than a history. Mr. Giddings ascribes the sole cause of secession to be slavery. The book is very scarce, but may be found occasionally in public libraries. [279] GiLSON (J. H.)

Compiled by Comrade J. H. Gilson, of Company D. Salem, Ohio : Walton, Steam Job and Label Printer. 1863. Cloth. 12 mo. pp. 271, with 13 Full Page Portraits. The author in the preparation of this work has had free recourse to a number of diaries kept by members of his regiment throughout its term of service. The result is an entertaining and faithful record of its heroes, its marches, its battles and its service at the front. This regiment was one of those that responded to President Lincoln's call for three hundred thousand more troops on the first of July, 1862. It was recruited in Harrison, Bel- mont, Tuscarawas, Jefferson, Carroll, Fairfield, and Perry counties, and was organized and mustered in at Camp Steuben- ville, Ohio, in September and October, 1862.

He was born in Cleveland, November 9, 1842. He entered the army as a member of Company D, First Ohio Light Artillery and re-en- listed when his term expired, in the One Hundred and Third Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, becoming a captain in No- vember, 1864, dividing his service between the infantry and en- gineer corps.

This address gives the history of the regiment as well as reminiscences of the short army life of the organization. It was one of the hundred days' regiments and for the period of its service performed the duty assigned it. This regiment was organized at Cleveland, May 5, 1864, and was mustered out August 23, 1864. In the neighborhood of Washington, D. C, it garrisoned Forts Lincoln, Saratoga, Thayer, Bunker Hill, Slo- cum, Totten and Stevens. It remained in these forts during the whole term of its service, and participated in the fight before Washington with a part of Early's Corps July 10 and 11, 1864. This organization was recruited from Cuyahoga and ad- joining counties. The first lieutenant of Company C. was Mar- cus A. Hanna, afterwards United States Senator from Ohio, and one of the privates of Company K was George K. Nash, after- wards Governor of Ohio. In this address many interesting facts concerning the personnel of the regiment are given. GOODLOE (WILLIAM CASSIUS) 153 [283] GooDLOE (William Oassius) Kentucky Unionists of 1861.

The Committee making this was composed of George Graham and John W. Hartwell of Cincinnati. They concluded that the best way to provide for the newly liberated slaves would be "by taking possession of the property of known rebels by military authority or under an act of confiscation, and as fast as the army takes possession of the vacated property of such rebels, let it be transferred to the Union Government, and under a proper system rented and leased to loyal men, who would em- ploy the freedmen to cultivate the lands under a system of monthly or daily pay for their labor". The report closes with a series of resolutions urging the establishment at Washington of a bureau to look after the interests of the freedmen. 154 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO f, [285] Geand Army of the Repubuc Proceedings of the Fifteenth Annual Encampment G.

The contribution of the Grand Army of the Republic to the Civil War Hter'ature of Ohio consists wiiolly of the printed pro- ceedings of its annual Encampments, in which are preserved its transactions, records and the addresses delivered on those occa- sions, together with the annual reports of its officers. The proceedings of 1881 are the first printed in pamphlet form under official authority. Prior to this date there is no permanent printed record. The Department of Ohio, Grand Army of the Republic, was organized as a permanent organization January 30th, 1867, and on the 30th of December, 1868, reported three hundred and three organized Posts in the Department, representing a membership of about thirty thousand. Commencing in 1869, the Order be- gan to languish and lose membership, owing to internal defects, so that at the Sixth Encampment at Cleveland in 1872 but fifty Posts had survived, having an estimated membership of five thou- sand, and the Inspector General reported the Department in a very low state. In 1874 but eight Posts with a membership of three hundred and eighty-three were reported in good standing. In this report there is marked evidence of a revival of the organization. The membership on December 30, 1880, is record- ed as 2,237, with thirty-five Posts in good standing, which is a gain of 1,138 over the preceding year. This pamphlet contains the annual reports of the various officers and committees; also the "unofficial proceedings" as published in the newspapers of the day.

Held at Piqua, O., May 10, 11 and 12, 1892. Cincinnati: Elm Street Printing Co. 1892. Cloth. 8 vo. pp. 167 + Appendix 146, with Portrait. The annual address of the Department Commander calls at- tention to an important error regarding the numerical strength of the Order in Ohio as reported in the proceedings of 1891. On this subject he says: "By some error, inadvertence or remark- able misapprehension of the provisions of the rules and regula- tions, the membership on December 31, 1890, was largely over- stated to the twenty-fifth Department Encampment. Instead of a membership of 49,01 1 at that time, the actual number, as shown by the reports of adjutants of Posts, now on file at headquarters, was only 45,743. The attention of this administration was called to this subject by the discrepancies between the adjutants' reports of June 30, 1 89 1, as to the number in good standing on December 31, 1890, and the reports of the late Assistant Adjutant General. I at once directed my Assistant Adjutant General to make a thorough investigation of the whole subject, so as to determine exactly, if possible, our actual membership on Decem- ber 31, 1890, and so that the reports of this administration might be correct and true, and our good name and standing at National Headqviarters be fully maintained. The result was as stated." The proceedings report stenographically the routine business of the Encampment, and the appendix contains the usual roster and annual reports of the officers. The reports indicate a mem- bership, December 31, 1891, of 46,119. The death roll is re- corded at seven hundred and forty-four. The general orders during the past year are reported in the appendix. At this Encampment Governor William McKinley and ex- President R. B. Hayes delivered addresses.

The loss by death according to the reports received by the Assistant Adjutant General for the year ending December 31, 1893, was seven hundred and twenty-one. The number of members in good standing at that date was 42,680, showing a falling off from the number reported for the year before. The proceedings contain addresses by Governor McKinley and ex-Secretary of the Interior John W. Noble.

The decreasing membership receives attention, and the causes are ascribed to the hard times and the increasing age of the veterans, making it impossible for many of them to meet the expenses of dues. For the year ending December 31, 1894, the deaths were six hundred and twenty-four. The membership in good standing is reported as 38,321. Quite a number of Posts sent in no report during the year. Nine Posts disbanded and seven organized, showing a net loss of two during the year. GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC 161 At this Encampment memorial services were held in honor of General William H.

The address of the Department Commander calls attention to the decreasing membership of the Grand Army of the Repub- lic. "For years," says he, "this grand and patriotic organization increased rapidly in numbers, and has made its impress on the present generation. But it has passed the summit as to numbers, and is on the down grade." The Assistant Adjutant General's report shows that 29,920 members were in good standing, a de- crease since the report of the year before of 6,373 members. 11 162 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO [302] Orand Army of the Kepublic.

The re- port of the Woman's Relief Corps to the Encampment shows that $10,876.08 was expended for relief, and that there was a balance of cash in the treasury amounting to $14,793.73. The member- ship in good standing was 10,587. The Assistant Adjutant General reports a membership of 27,031 on December 31, 1899, and a death roll of seven hundred and twenty-one. He states the loss in membership was largely from suspension for non-payment of dues.

The reports show that the death roll from year to year 164 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO r. is about the same, while the per cent, increases with the reduction of total membership. As to the general condition of the Order, the Department Commander says : "The total number of veterans in Ohio, as shown by the census reports of 1890, was 101,602. The decrease during the ten years is, in round num- bers, 38,000. This leaves the Grand Army population, approxi- mately, 63,577. Of this number, 26,627 are in good standing, and the remainder, through default, suspension, discharge, op- position or reduced circumstances, are out of the Order, and de- prived of its privileges and enjoyments. A persistent effort has been kept up during the year to enlist or reinstate these com- rades, with some measure of success." The report of the Woman's Relief Corps shows that or- ganization to be holding its membership and increasing its ac- tivities in relief work. It expended during the year ending May 9, 1901, $13,775 and on that date had $13,841.41 in its treas- ury. The journal of the proceedings is devoted entirely to dis- cussions and actions on the internal government of the Order.

Among the general orders of the Department Commander, No. 5, announces "With profound sorrow the death of Comrade William McKinley, the President of the United States." "For the second time in the history of our Order a comrade has reached the highest office in the gift of the Nation, only to be stricken down at the hands of an assassin." Posts and staff of- ficers are ordered into mourning for a period of sixty days. The inevitable decrease is witnessed by a loss in Posts from six hundred and eighty in 1900 to five hundred and ninety-four in 1901. The membership in good standing December 31, 1901, is 26,108. The death loss is eight hundred and twenty. The Woman's Relief Corps shows an increase in member- ship — the total number being 10,971.

A resolution pro- testing against the return of Confederate flags now in the Capitol at Columbus, was laid upon the table. The varied and increasing usefulness of the Woman's Relief Corps is evident in this report to the Encampment. Its wide sphere of relief is shown by the fact that its expenditures in- clude hospital supplies, aid to Posts, assistance to boys in college, donations to various Soldiers' Homes, San Francisco relief, Southern Memorial Day and Memorial University, aggregating $15,122.80; the cash balance is reported at $18,268.62. The number of members is 11,646 — more than half that of the De- partment of Ohio. The office of Patriotic Instructor having been created by the National Encampment, that officer made an oral report.

This contains the journal of proceedings of the Encamp- ment, although not mentioned on the title. Statistics quoted from returns from county auditors of the State and quoted by the Department Commander show that in 1909 there were 37,900 soldiers in Ohio not affiliated with the Grand Army of the Republic. In general order No. 5 he appeals to the Posts to endeavor to secure these men for the Order. The reports presented to the Encampment evidence an in- crease in membership for 1908 over that of 1907; the nvmiber in good standing on December 31, 1908, being 22,137. The number GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC 169 of Posts was five hundred and forty-nine, and the death loss nine hundred and sixty.

The membership as reported by the Assistant Adjutant General, was, on December 31, 1909, 22,184. The address of the Department Commander covers every phase of the history and necessities of the Order. Referring to the subject of mem- bership he says: "An examination of the Assistant Adjutant General's report will show that we have sustained a net loss in membership this year of 179. This is true in spite of the fact that a rather strenuous effort has been made to induce the thous- ands of Union soldiers in the State, who are not members of the Grand Army, to come and join our ranks. While a few of these hitherto non-affiliated Comrades have been persuaded to join us, the great overwhelming majority of them still stand aloof and refuse to give their support to the Grand Army." Re- ferring to the decrease by death, he says: "Last year we lost by death 961 members. This year our loss was 1,168, a net loss by death of over 20 per cent greater than the previous year." The Woman's Relief Corps reported the membership in good standing March 31, 1910 to be 12,250. The amount ex- pended for relief and other interests relating to the Grand Army of the Republic amounted to $16,640.00. The number of sol- diers assisted was 805, and the number of soldiers' families as- sisted was 1,978. The cash on hand June 14, 1910 amounted to $17,083.28. This report also contains the corrected statistics of the As- sistant Adjutant General showing the membership of the Order each year commencing with 1881 — the date when the official proceedings were first pubHshed.

A legal examination, into the grounds of secession. It is very fair, and discusses the subject with a thorough knowledge of the conditions, political and legislative, prior to the war. The writer is of the opinion that the Dred Scott decision did more to direct Southern opinion towards secession than any one cause, and was especially potent in prompting Senator Jefferson Davis in his course. His opinion of Davis is interesting: "My study of his history has caused me to think him a Christian gentleman; a man of honor and integrity; of very considerable ability as a debater and orator; firm in his adherence to what he believed to be right. But it seems to me that he was specially lacking in practical common sense. He was devoted to the in- terests of the Southland and the Southern people; he would willingly have died in their cause. Yet I believe facts are such that it will appear to calm judgment that the error into which he was led by the Dred Scott case caused the Civil War and the destruction of slavery."

On Monday, June 3, 1907, a great memorial column, arch and statue was unveiled at Richmond, Virginia, in honor of Jefferson Davis, the only president of "The Confederate States of America". The inscription on the monument and the speeches made on this occasion claim that God and history will vindicate the action of Mr. Davis and the seceding states. This pamphlet answers in a temperate and judicial manner these claims. It is a historical review of the various grounds of secession as set forth by the South, and is written in a candid and attractive style. 172 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO [317] Geant (U. S.) Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant. In two volumes. New York: Charles L. Webster and Company. Vol. I, 1885, Vol. II, 1886. Cloth. 8 vo., 2 vols. Vol. I, pp. 584, lifith Full Page Portrait, 2 Fac Similes, is Full Page Maps and i Illustration. Vol. II, pp. 647, with Full Page Portrait, 28 Full Page Maps, 1 Etching, and I Fac Simile. The name of the great General is inseparably connected with Ohio in the Civil War. In these memoirs he gives his early Ohio life on the farm previous to entering West Point, and his mili- tary life in the Mexican and Civil Wars. The war literature of Ohio is not complete with General Grant's contribution left out. It is written in his own plain style, and with the frankness of a soldier. He was born at Point Pleasant, Clermont County, Ohio, April 27, 1822. In the fall of 1823 his father moved to Georgetown, the county seat of Brown, the adjoining county east. This place remained his home until young Grant was sent to West Point in 1839, when he was seventeen years of age. Speaking of his old Ohio home in these memoirs, General Grant says: "Yet this far off western village, with a population, includ- ing old and young, male and female, of about one thousand — about enough for the organization of a single regiment if all had been men, capable of bearing arms — furnished the Union army four general officers and one colonel. West Point gradu- ates, and nine generals and field officers of Volunteers, that I can think of. Of the graduates from West Point, all had citizen- ship elsewhere at the breaking out of the rebellion, except pos- sibly General A. V. Kautz, who had remained in the army from his graduation. Two of the colonels also entered the service from other localities. The other seven. General McGroarty, Colonels White, Fyffe, Loudon and Marshall, Majors King and Bailey, were all residents of Georgetown when the war broke out, and all of them, who were alive at the close, returned there. Major Bailey was the cadet who had preceded me at West Point. He was killed in West Virginia, in his first engagement. As far as I know, every boy who has entered West Point from that vil- lage since my time has been graduated". These memoirs rank as one of the historic titles of Civil War literature and for the thousands of Ohio soldiers that were with Grant from Donelson to Appomattox it records a part of their history.

Notwithstanding that this regimental history was written shortly after the war, it ranks among the first in style, complete- (176) 176 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO ness and accuracy. The writer draws freely from the official military reports of the time. This regiment was the outgrowth of an independent battalion of Cincinnati, known as "The Guthrie Greys" from which it was organized in April, 1861, and mustered into the three months' service on the i8th of the same month at Camp Harrison, Ohio, by Captain Gordon Granger, U. S. A., afterwards Major General of Volunteers. When the call for three hundred thousand men was made, the Sixth Regiment was mustered into the three years' service. It was immediately or- dered to West Virginia where it went into active service. In this volume its movements, vicissitudes, campaigns and experi- ences are given with interesting detail. The writer controverts General Badeau's narrative of Grant at Shiloh, but not in a spirit derogatory to the great General. This regiment was mustered out July 23, 1864, after three years' faithful service ; it won its honors at Laurel Hill, W. Va., July 8, 1861 : Shiloh, Tenn., April 6-7, 1862; Siege of Corinth, Miss., April 30, 1862; Stone River, Tenn., December 31, 1862; and January 1-2, 1863; Chickamauga, Ga., September 19-20, 1863 ; Brown's Ferry, Tenn., October 27, 1863; Orchard Knob, Tenn., November 23, 1863, and Mission Ridge, Tenn., November 25, 1863.

He •said, "I am for peace by the recognition of the Southern Con- federacy, and I am for acquiescence in the doctrine of seces- sion." That he had been alone in Congress, but now, having 12 178 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO listened to the language of Mr. Long, he deemed it his duty to indorse every sentiment that he uttered. This speech is fully as radical as that of Mr. Long and goes much further than any of the Ohio congressman's defenders. Mr. Vallandigham and others who opposed the resolution expelling Mr. Long did so on the ground that he (Long) had the right of freedom of speech as a representative, but did not indorse his views. For this speech Mr. Harris was, on a vote of 98 to 20, de- clared by a resolution of the House of Representatives, "to be an unworthy member of this House, and is hereby severely cen- sured."

Hatcher, Pub- lisher, 1891. Cloth. 12 mo. pp. 416. One of the most unique contributions to war literature by an Ohio soldier, and extremely valuable to the historian of the future. It is composed wholly of extracts from newspapers, North and South, giving the news and sentiments expressed dur- ing the dying days of the Rebellion. The compiler in the pref- ace gives the scope and purpose of this volume : "The collection of material for this work began shortly after the close of the war, by seeking from both North and South, files of daily and weekly papers published during the activity of the two great armies of the Union and Confederate forces. Many difficulties were encountered in collecting files now in my possession, yet, after the lapse of more than a quarter of a century, the result of my collection is invaluable and cannot be duplicated. Having a desire, after having served in the field at a youthful age, to know more than I chanced to have seen, caused me to seek this channel for that I deemed more accurate and interesting than could come from the pen of a historian, and to you is given the 180 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO situation and expression on both Union and Confederate sides, to study over as I have done with great pleasure. I do not offer an apology for any article within this cover. I have given each as it came directly from the press sentiment on those dates. It has been found necessary at times to have concentrated letters and editorials, but the gist of each is retained and here given. "The contents are from the war correspondents and editorials of the following papers: The Tribune, Herald and Times, of New York; The Daily Rebel, Confederate Union and Mobile Register, of Alabama; The Raleigh Progress, and Confederate, of North Carolina ; The Richmoncl Dispatch, Sentinel, Whig and Enquirer, of Richmond, Virginia; The Daily Constitutionalist, of Augusta, Ga. ; The New Orleans Picayune, Philadelphia En- quirer, Washington Chronicle, Baltimore American, and The Cincinnati Commercial, Gazette, and Enquirer, as well as from files of many papers of less prominence, that were issued during the war, many of which have been for years, extinct".

At one point in this discourse it was intimated that perhaps Mr. Lincoln, in the kindness of his heart, would have pursued too lenient a policy in reconstruction.

The One Hundred and Third Ohio Volunteer Infantry was composed of men from the counties of Cuyahoga, Lorain and Medina. It was organized in August and September, 1862, with John S. Casement Colonel, to serve for three years and was mustered out of service June 12, 1865. It participated in the battles and campaigns : Blue Springs, Tenn., October 5, 1863; Siege of Knoxville, Tenn., November 17 to December 4, 1863; Dandridge, Tenn., January 16-18, 1864; Resaca, Ga., May 13-16, 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 9-30, 1864; Siege- 182 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO of Atlanta, Ga., July 28 to September 2, 1864, and Spring Hill, Tenn., November 29, 1864.

Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 11. The Twenty-Third Regiment was organized at Camp Chase in 1861, under Colonel W. S. Rosecrans, and was mustered into the three years' service June 11, 1861. General Hayes became its Colonel October 24, 1862. This regiment furnished two Presidents of the United States — Rutherford B. Hayes and William McKinley. In this address President Hayes discusses the fundamental issues settled by the war. He dwells forcefully on the enforce- ment of the Fifteenth Amendment, and urges that there is no true settlement of the war if it is practically nullified. He de- nounces the lawless and violent deprivation of the constitutional rights of the colored people, and declares that "the only solid foundations for peace and progress in such communities are equal and exact justice to both races." Rutherford B. Hayes, nineteenth President of the United States, was born at Delaware, Ohio, October 4, 1822. Educated at Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio, and graduated in August, 1842. He studied law at Harvard Law School, and was ad- mitted to the bar of Ohio, May 10, 1845. He served with dis- tinction in the Civil War. He won the rank of brigadier-general at the battle of Cedar Creek, October 19, 1864, and was brevetted major-general March 13, 1865. While in the field in 1864, he was elected to Congress from the second (Cincinnati) Ohio dis- trict, but did not take his seat until the war was over. In 1866 he was re-elected. In 1867 he was elected Governor of Ohio, and in 1869 was re-elected. He was again nominated for Con- gress in 1872, but was defeated. In 1875 he was elected Gover- nor for the third time, and in 1876 was elected President of the United States. There being a dispute over the returns, the count of the contested electoral vote was. by an act of Congress, referred to the Electoral Commission, which declared Mr. Hayes to be elected President. His administration was noted for its conciliatory and patri- otic dealing with the South, and for the maintenance of a sound currency resulting in the resumption of specie payment. After his retirement from the Presidency he devoted himself entirely to philanthropic and educational purposes. At the time of his HAYES (R. B.) 183^. death he was a member of the Boards of Trustees of the Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware, the Ohio State University at Columbus, Kenyon College at Gambier, Western Reserve Uni- versity at Cleveland, and Mt. Union College at Alliance. He was also president of the John F. Slater Educational Fund, of the National Prison Reform Association, an active member of the National Conference of Correction and Charities, and Commander-in-Chief of the Loyal Legion of the United States. He held the degree of LL. D. from Kenyon, Harvard, Yale and Johns Hopkins Universities. General Hayes died at Spiegel Grove, Fremont, Ohio, January 17, 1893. [338] Hayes (R. B.) Remarks of General R.

This regiment was one of the first raised in the state on the basis of three years' service. It was sent to the field under Colonel Thomas H. Ford, formerly Lieutenant-Governor of Ohio. Col. Ford was dismissed from the service for the surrender of his regiment at Harper's Ferry. In this volume Col. Ford is justi- fied and defended, and the devotion of his men to his loyalty and valor is made clear and unmistakable. After exchange the regiment was re-organized and was promptly forwarded to the front to participate in the Vicksburg campaign. The appendix contains a summary of each of the annual reunions of the regiment to and including the nineteenth, held September 4, 1895. The battles in which the Thirty- Second Ohio Volunteer In- fantry participated are as follows: Greenbrier, W. Va., Octo- ber 3, 1861 ; Camp Allegheny, W.

In 1880 he was appointed Chief Signal Officer with the rank of Brigadier General; he introduced "cold wave" signals and suggested the standard time meridians at present in use. He died at Washington, D. C, January 16, 1887. In this paper he outlines the origin, development and ap- plication of the signal service. He explains the methods of the rapid transmission of the intelligence of temperature. Pub- lished in "Sketches of War History," Volume I. [347] Headley (J. T.)

Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 23. A fine analysis of the character of General Sherman, and a review of his military career. General Hickenlooper in this ad- dress has contributed such a portrait of Sherman as cannot be found elsewhere in military literature. It is valuable as coming from one who himself was a successful soldier and well quali- fied in the genius of war. He credits Sherman with resistless ■courage, unbroken steadiness, limitless endurance and unbounded confidence in his command. With his brilliant personality the great general was firm, but not exacting; prudent, but not timid ; brave but not rash ; he never became disconcerted in the HICKENLOOPER (ANDREW) 189 presence of danger or sentimental in the presence of death; but when the business was over and he was reheved from the stern necessity of the hour, no one ever displayed more respect for the memory of the dead or considerate care for the wounded. In this address General Hickenlooper dwells upon the ser- vice of Sherman from Bull Run to Bentonville and accords to him the highest credit for military genius. Andrew Hickenlooper, artillery officer and engineer, was born at Hudson, Ohio, August 30, 1837. In 1859 he became city surveyor of Cincinnati. He entered the army August 31, 1861, in the Fifth Ohio Battery of Light Artillery, and was after- ward captain. Served on staff of Major General McPherson, as Chief Engineer, and afterward Chief of Artillery; subse- quently as Inspector General of the Seventeenth Army Corps, on staff of General F. P. Blair. After the fall of Vicksburg the "Board of Honor" of the Seventeenth Corps awarded him a gold medal, with the inscription, "Pittsburg Landing, Siege of Corinth, luka, Corinth, Port Gibson, Raymond, Jackson, Cham- pion Hills, Vicksburg." He served through the Atlanta cam- paign and was with Sherman in the march to the sea and through the Carolinas. He was appointed Brigadier General of Volunteers and assigned to the command of a brigade composed of the Eleventh, Thirteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth Iowa Vet- eran Volunteers. After the war he was United States Marshal for the Southern District of Ohio, city civil engineer of Cincin- nati and lieutenant-governor of Ohio. He died May 4, 1904. [352] Hickenlooper ( Andrew) The Battle of Shiloh. By Andrew Hickenlooper, Late Lieutenant Colonel and Assistant Inspector General U. S. V. ; Brevet Brigadier General U. S.

The writer was in command of the Fifth Ohio Independent Light Artillery as captain at the battle of Shiloh. It was or- ganized and originally designated as "Hickenlooper's Cincinnati Battery." In Part I, he has recorded the personal experience 190 CIVIL WAR LITERATUKE OF OHIO of a young volunteer in his maiden battle, and in Part II, from his own observations, and the subsequently compiled reports of others, condensed an accurate description of its principal feat- ures; more especially those pertaining to the Sixth Division, commanded by General B. M. Prentiss, to which the Fifth Ohio Battery had been attached. He criticises the unpreparedness for battle as shown by the absence of proper defenses and a failure to provide the same. After a careful review of many reports of the battle, he concludes that "the sad casualties of Sunday, the 6th, were due in part to failure to anticipate such an attack ; the encampment of troops without regard to consideration of mutual support; the neglect to provide and fortify a defensive line; or the issuance and enforcement of orders for the main- tenance of grand guards, pickets and outposts at a sufficient distance to give timely warning of an enemy's approach." Gen- eral Hickenlooper earnestly defends General Prentiss from as- persions cast upon him by reason of the capture of his division. To General Prentiss, he claims, "more than any other one man, is the country indebted for the final triumph of our arms at Shiloh on the 6th of April." He quotes from numerous reports and military writings relating to the battle to sustain his con- clusions.

During the last years of the war there was among the pris- oners at Johnson's Island, Sandusky Bay, an association known as "The Young Men's Christian Association, of Johnson's Is- land, Ohio". It was composed of Christians from all parts of the South. When the war had ended and the Southern armies surrendered, at the last meeting of the association prior to be- ing discharged. May 19, 1865, this poem was read as a farewell to the writer's fellow prisoners. It breathes a deep religious sentiment, is free from all color of rancor or bitterness and at times is very touching.

An instructive description of the different styles of rifles used in the various wars of the United States, and giving in detail the development of this weapon during the Civil War.

[355] HrNMAN (Wilbur F.) Corporal Si Klegg and His "Pard". How they lived and talked, and what they did and suffered, while fighting for the Flag. By Wilbur F.

Cloth. 8 vo. pp. XIX and 706. This volume is neither a history nor a story, yet it embodies in a homely but interesting and thrilling narrative "Si Klegg" and "Shorty" his "Pard" characters, which the author says, have their prototypes in every regiment. The author served four years at the front in a regiment (Sixty-Fifth Ohio Volunteer In- fantry) which, as he in his preface says "with eleven hundred men on its rolls from first to last, was reduced by the casualties of battles and the ravages of disease to one hundred and thirty, officers and men, present for duty at the time it was mustered out. It had traveled fifteen thousand miles — more than six thousand on foot. During the first year of his service the writer carried a musket and knapsack. These facts are mentioned only to show that he had abundant experiences, without which it would have been folly to attempt such a book as this". The writer has framed his narrative in the "free and easy" form of language that marked the intercourse of the soldiers. He has flavored it with humor, wit and fun, although there is much more that is earnest, pathetic and sad. He has shown how the soldier lived — and died. 192 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO In the appendix is substantial information concerning the organization of the army, explanation and diagrams of corps badges and the musical notes of the bugle calls.

The most elaborate, and one of the best literary productions relating to Ohio regiments. Penned with decided literary ability, it gives, in its seventy-nine chapters, in the writer's capable style, the military careers of the organizations, composing the "Sher- man Brigade". He explains that the name is purely an Ohio designation. The brigade as such lost its identity when it took the field. But the campaigns and marches of the Sixty-Fourth and Sixty-Fifth Ohio Volunteers were almost identical, not HINMAN (WILBUR F.) 193 varying fifty miles in all; the route of the Sixth Battery was not quite the same, but the writer has carried along the service of the regiment and battery together weaving the facts relative to each into a connected and contemporaneous narrative. And he has done his work well. The history of McLaughlin's Squad- ron of Cavalry continuing until the end of the war was entirely separate and distinct from the rest of the Sherman Brigade, be- ing divorced immediately upon leaving Ohio, when it was sent into Eastern Kentucky. But in these pages the author has done full justice to the Battery as is evidenced in the last nine cliapters of the volume. The chief attractiveness of this work is its con- servative style, its comprehensive scope and its brilliant powers of description. "Corporal Si Klegg and his Pard" is also from the author's pen. The conception and inception of the "Sherman I'rigade" is an interesting event of Civil War history. During the early days of the Autumn of 1861 the following appeared in many newspapers of Ohio: "To the Young Men of Ohio: I am authorized by the Governor of Ohio to raise at once two regiments of infantry, one squadron of cavalry, and one bat- tery of artillery. I am also authorized to recommend one lieu- tenant for each company, who shall receive his commission and be furnished with proper facilities for enlisting. I am now ready to receive applications for such appointments, accompanied with evidences of good habits and character, the age of the applicant and his fitness and ability to recruit a company. Major William McLaughlin will command the cavalry. The company officers will be designated by the soldiers of each company, subject to the approval of the governor. The field officers are not yet designated, but will be men of experience and. if possible, of military education. The soldiers shall have, without diminution, all they are entitled to by law. Danger is imminent ! Promptness is indispensable ! Let the people of Ohio now repay the debt which their fathers in- curred to the gallant people of Kentucky for the defense of Ohio against the Indians and British. They now appeal to us for help against an invasion more unjustifiable and barbarous. Letters can be addressed to me marked 'Free' at Mansfield, Ohio. John Sherman". To the prospective infantry regiments were assigned the numerical designations, Sixty-Fourth and Sixty-Fifth : to the Battery the Sixth : and to Cavalry.

Large 8 vo. pp. 1104, with 19 Full Page Portraits. The most elaborate, and one of the best literary productions relating to Ohio regiments. Penned with decided literary ability, it gives, in its seventy-nine chapters, in the writer's capable style, the military careers of the organizations, composing the "Sher- man Brigade". He explains that the name is purely an Ohio designation. The brigade as such lost its identity when it took the field. But the campaigns and marches of the Sixty-Fourth and Sixty-Fifth Ohio Volunteers were almost identical, not HINMAN (WILBUR F.) 193 varying fifty miles in all; the route of the Sixth Battery was not quite the same, but the writer has carried along the service of the regiment and battery together weaving the facts relative to each into a connected and contemporaneous narrative. And he has done his work well. The history of McLaughlin's Squad- ron of Cavalry continuing until the end of the war was entirely separate and distinct from the rest of the Sherman Brigade, be- ing divorced immediately upon leaving Ohio, when it was sent into Eastern Kentucky. But in these pages the autlior has done full justice to the Battery as is evidenced in the last nine chapters of the volume. The chief attractiveness of this work is its con- servative style, its comprehensive scope and its brilliant powers of description. "Corporal Si Klegg and his Pard" is also from the author's pen. The conception and inception of the "Sherman Brigade" is an interesting event of Civil War history. During the early days of the Autumn of 1861 the following appeared in many newspapers of Ohio: "To the Young Men of Ohio: I am authorized by the Governor of Ohio to raise at once two regiments of infantry, one squadron of cavalry, and one bat- tery of artillery. I am also authorized to recommend one lieu- tenant for each company, who shall receive his commission and be furnished with proper facilities for enlisting. I am now ready to receive applications for such appointments, accompanied with evidences of good habits and character, the age of the applicant and his fitness and ability to recruit a company. Major William McLaughlin will command the cavalry. The company officers will be designated by the soldiers of each company, subject to the approval of the governor. The field officers are not yet designated, but will be men of experience and. if possible, of military education. The soldiers shall have, without diminution, all they are entitled to by law. Danger is imminent ! Promptness is indispensable ! Let the people of Ohio now repay the debt which their fathers in- curred to the gallant people of Kentucky for the defense of Ohio against the Indians and British. They now appeal to us for help against an invasion more unjustifiable and barbarous. Letters can be addressed to me marked 'Free' at Mansfield, Ohio. John Sherm.an". To the prospective infantry regiments were assigned the numerical designations, Sixty-Fourth and Sixty-Fifth : to the Battery the Sixth ; and to Cavalry, McLaughlin's Squadron. 194 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO Mr. Sherman was commissioned Colonel of the Sixty-Fourth. At this time he was United States Senator from Ohio and on the Finance Committee of the Senate ; his service in raising troops had so impressed the Secretary of War that he tendered him a commission as brigadier general. But President Lincoln promptly checked all attempts to direct Senator Sherman into the military service of the country. Said Mr. Lincoln: "I can make a brigadier with a stroke of a pen, but I can't make a statesman and a financier! Mr. Sherman must remain in the Senate". So on the ist of December, 1861. Mr. Sherman bade adieu to his brigade. The Sixty-Fourth and Sixty-Fifth Ohio Volunteer Infantry participated in the following battles : Shiloh, Tenn., April 6-7, 1862; Siege of Corinth, Miss., April 30, 1862; Stone River, Tenn., December 31, 1862, to January 2, 1863; Chickamauga, Ga., September 19-20, 1863 ; Chattanooga, Tenn., November 23-25, 1863; Mission Ridge, Tenn., November 25, 1863; Rocky Face Ridge, Ga., May 5-9, 1864; Resaca, Ga., May 13-16, 1864; Adairsville, Ga., May 17-18, 1864; Dallas, Ga., May 25, 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 9-30, 1864; Peach Tree Creek, Ga., July 20, 1864: Siege of Atlanta, Ga., July 28 to September 2, 1864; Jonesboro, Ga., August 31 to September i, 1864; Love- joy Station.

HOSEA (lewis m.) 199 This is among the first issued regimental histories, being published in August, 1866. It is a well-written volume consid- ering that according to the writers' statements they had not full recourse to official records. As a narrative of the services of the regiment, it is valuable ; and its individual military biogra- phies of field and staff, and enlisted men by companies, gives it historical importance. Its "Incident Department" is composed of tales, adventures and experiences of individuals of the organ- ization from officers to privates. According to the authors the companies composing the or- iginal Eleventh were among the very first organized in the State, but by reason of the greater influence exerted in favor of others, their claims to early recognition were not considered and prepara- tion for their active participation in the war proceeded but slowly. It was mustered into the three months' service in April 1861, reorganized and mustered into the three months' service June 20, 1861, and on the 7th of July was ordered to the Kanawha Valley. The Eleventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry was honorably en- gaged in the following battles: Hawk's Nest, W. Va., August 20, 1861 ; Gauley Bridge, W. Va., November 10, 1861 ; Prince- ton, W.

In April, 1861, while a student at Antioch College, Greene County, Ohio, the author of this paper enlisted under the first call of Abraham Lincoln as a private in the Sixth Ohio Volun- teers and later was commissioned as Captain in the regular army, serving throughout the war, participating in all the battles of the Army of the Cumberland from Shiloh to Nashville. Was brev- 200 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO etted Major for gallant conduct in the cavalry campaign of Gen- eral James H. Wilson at the battles of Selma and Columbus.

The writer was personally present, throughout the second day, at Shiloh as Adjutant of the First Battalion, Sixteenth U. S. Infantry — which, (with similar battalions of the Fifteenth and Nineteenth Infantry, and First Ohio, Fifth Indiana and Sixth Kentucky Volunteers), constituted Rousseau's Brigade, McCook's Division of the Army of the Ohio commanded by General Buell. His position gave him a wide range of observa- tion, and his distinct recollections form the basis of this interest- ing and valuable historical paper. He severely criticises, chal- lenges the accuracy of, and points out the errors in the govern- ment publication of the Shiloh National Park Commission, which is published as the official description of the battle.

The crisis of 1861 brought forth innumerable pamphlets and publications suggesting remedies for the impending situation. This is one of them. The writer suggests that the constitution be so amended as to permit, sanction and defend slavery in every state and territory. He takes the position that slavery is neces- sary to the prosperity of the nation. HOWARD (WILLIAM) 201 [370] Howard (William) State of the Union. Speech of Hon.

Denies the right of secession but is in favor of concession to the South in order to save the Union. The speech is patriotic and conservative and ilhistrates the views prevaiHng in Congress among many Democrats and RepubHcans. Mr. Howard was a native of Virginia, and on his removal to Ohio acquired prom- inence in State politics. He served in the 48th and 49th Gen- eral Assemblies of Ohio and was in the State Senate from 1849 to 185 1. He was elected to the Thirty-Sixth Congress from the Sixth District serving but a single term. He was a conservative Democrat. [37^ HOWBERT (A. R.) Reminiscences of the War. A. R. Howbert. n. p. 1888. Cloth. 12 mo. pp. 388, with Portrait. The writer was chaplain of the Eighty-Fourth Regiment of Ohio Volunteer Infantry during its service of over three months in 1862, at Cumberland, Maryland, and New Creek, West Vir- ginia. When it was mustered out of service at Delaware, Ohio, in September of that year, he became the confidential agent of Governor Tod to visit and report on the condition of the Ohio regiments, and the chaplain service for each whenever they might be found. When Governor Tod's term expired and John Brough became Governor, Mr. Howbert was continued in the same character of service until the close of the war. Thus his opportunities to observe the operations and incidents of his time were wide and unrestricted. In this volume he has not only recorded his own experiences, but he has written a chronicle of the War which embraces its entire period from beginning to end. The introduction (pp. 1-62) is by Judge William Lawrence of Bellefontaine, Ohio, who was the colonel of the regiment ; it is a very able review of the origin and growth of the doctrine of secession and a history of the political events which led up to the war. 202 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OUZO '■»■ [372J Howe (Hbney) The Times of tlie Rebellion in the West: A Collec- tion of Miscellanies, Showing the part taken in the War by each Western State — Notices of Eminent Officers — Descriptions of Prominent Battles — Conspiracies in the West to aid the Kebellion — Incidents of Guerrilla and Border Warfare — Individual Adventures — Anecdotes Il- lustrating the Hei'oism of Western Soldiers, Etc., Etc., Etc.

Howells although his name is not on the title page. This is , one of Mr. Howells' earliest pieces of literary work. He was the news editor of the Ohio State Journal at Columbus, Ohio, at the time. He received for this sketch of Lincoln $160.00, and with this money he visited Montreal and Boston where he formed the acquaintance of James Russell Lowell, the editor of the "Atlantic Monthly," who introduced him to Oliver Wendell Holmes. Thus this early contribution of Ohio literature of the war period, opened a new future to its author. President Lin- coln appointed him consul to Venice ; he resided there through the War. W. D. Howells was born in Martin's Ferry, Ohio, March i, 1837. When a young man at Columbus, he was cor- respondent of the "Cincinnati Gazette", contributed to the "At- lantic Monthly", and was editor of the "Ohio State Journal".

Journal-History of the Seventy-Third Ohio Volunteer Infantry. By Samuel H. Hurst, late commander of the Regiment. Chillicothe, Ohio: 1866. Cloth. 12 mo. pp. 253. "In September, 1861, a group of young men at Chillicothe, Ohio, discussed the possibility of raising a new regiment of vol- unteers under the first call of the President for three hundred thousand men. After due consideration, they determined to make the attempt, and invited Captain Orland Smith, of the 204 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE 0¥ OHIO Chillicothe Greys, to accept the Colonelcy, and Jacob Hyer, Esq., of Greenfield, the Lieutenant Colonelcy of the regiment". Thus does the author, who afterwards became its colonel, describe the origin of the Seventy-Third Ohio Volunteer Infantry. This meeting resulted in the organization being mustered in December 30, 1861, to serve three years. The author was promoted to Colonel July 13, 1864, and brevetted colonel March 13, 1865. He was brevetted Brigadier-General July 20, 1865. This his- tory is largely his own observations and experiences but it is also a faithful record of his regiment. He accurately gives its service from its organization in 1861 to the Grand Review at Washington in 1865. The military history of each officer and enlisted man is given, and his summary shows that of the regi- ment there were killed in battle, 95 ; died of wounds, 61 ; died of disease, 129; total died, 285; and 568 wounded but not fatally. The regiment was mustered out July 20, 1865, after an honor- able record in the following battles : McDowell, Va., May 8, 1862; Cross Keys, Va., June 8, 1862; Cedar Mountain, Va., August 9, 1862; Freeman's Ford, Va., August 23-25, 1862; Sec- ond Bull Run, Va., August 30, 1862; Chancellorsville, Va., May 1-4, 1863; Getty.sburg, Pa., July 1-3, 1863; Lookout Valley, Tenn., October 29, 1863; Mission Ridge, Tenn., November 25, 1863; Resaca, Ga., May 13-16, 1864; New Hope Church, Ga., May 25 to June 4, 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 9-30, 1864: Peach Tree Creek, Ga., July 20, 1864; Siege of Atlanta, Ga., July 28 to September 2, 1864; Averysboro, N.

Except for a few days when he escaped temporarily, Mr. Hyde was a prisoner of war for one year, five months and seven days. He was captured at the Chickamauga battlefield Septem- ber 20, 1863. His prison experiences included incarcerations in Libby and Pemberton prisons and then a transfer to Danville. He escaped from the latter only to be recaptured and returned, going thence to Andersonville. The drain upon the mental and physical systems which this writer endured in common with his fellow soldiers in these bastiles is almost beyond comprehension. The book abounds with thrilling descriptions of the sights wit- nessed. [382 SHAM (A. B.) Through the Wilderness to liichmoiul.

The speech itself has no reference to the confiscation bill of Mr. Julian but is an able defense of states rights and a severe criticism of the Administration. It is typical of the attitude as- sumed by the opponents of the war and President Lincoln.

In this paper he discusses the right of secession at a time when the air was resounding with threats of dissolution of the Union. It is a calm and deliberate consideration principally from a historical standpoint, of the legal and moral right of any state to withdraw from the Union. He reviews the history of the acquisition of Florida, Texas and the Louisiana territory, and denies that the inhabitants of that area have any title to set up a separate government. The address is one of the most in- teresting and able of the many contributions to the war litera- ture of that period. The Cincinnati Literary Club before which this address was read is one of the oldest institutions of that city. Among its distinguished members were : Salmon P. Chase, Rutherford R. Hayes, General John Pope, General Ed- ward F. Noyes, General M. F. Force, Murat Halstead. of the "Commercial", Samuel R. Reed, of the "Gazette", Stanley JOHNSTON (WILLIAM) 211 Matthews, George H.

George Gordon was President of Iberia College, Iberia, Ohio, and on the 6th of November, 1861, he was indicted in the District Court of the United Slates of the Northern District of Ohio for the violation of the Fugitive Slave Law. He resisted process in the hands of the deputy marshal in his attempt to arrest a fugitive slave. He was sentenced by the court to six months imprisonment and to pay a fine of three hundred dollars, with costs of prosecution. The case attracted great attention throughout the North. It was regarded as anomaly that during a rebellion of slaveholders that the Lincoln administration should enforce the Fugitive Slave Act. There was a universal demand for Dr. Gordon's pardon. President Lincoln pardoned him, but in the pardon he specially stated that the conviction and sentence was legal, but exercised his leniency on the ground of mercy. This elaborate brief against the morality and constitution- ality of the Fugitive Slave Law was submitted to President Lin- coln and was also widely circulated. The President however recognized the force and validity of the law, notwithstanding the appeals and demands of a large element in the North. 212 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO [390] Jones (Frank J.)

General Jones, the author of this address was the Colonel of the regiment, was brevetted brigadier-general for gallant and meritorious conduct during the war, June 27, 1865. He commenced his military career by enlisting as a private in the Fourth Ohio Infantry in 1861. When this regiment was organized it was ordered to report to General W. T. Sherman at Nashville, Tennessee, l-^'rom thence it proceeded to Murfreesboro. On the 7th of December, 1864, it was engaged in the battle of the Cedars, later it participated in the battle of Five Forks at Kingston, North Carolina. It joined Sherman's forces at Goldsboro, Marcli 21, 1865. It remained as a part of Sherman's column until the end of the war, and was mustered out at Charlotte, North Carolina, June 28, 1865.

JULIAN (GEORGE W.) 213 Giddings was one of tlie most powerful and aggressive of the anti-slavery leaders of Ohio. In this volume by his son-in- law, himself a man of like type, the life work of the aboli- tionist eongressman from the Ashtabula district is presented with fidelity and ability. It is important to the student of the period iinmediately preceding the war in obtaining a complete and vivid picture of the intense bitterness in the political relations between the friends of freedom and slavery. It shows by the part Gid- dings played that it was conducted without fear or compromise. In 1838 he was elected to Congress as a \Miig, and immediately became prominent as an advocate of the abolition of slavery and of the domestic slave-trade. To this mission he consecrated his life. His congressional career was a long, violent and courage- ous conflict against slavery. He was one of the organizers of the Republican party. [393] AUTZ (ArGVST V.)

The author contends that the individual instruction of the soldier is the foundation upon which the structure of the army rests. The purpose of this manual is to give the necessary in- struction which officers should have in order to become compe- tent and conscientious commanders, and to give the private sol- dier an intelligent conception of his duties. This volume was deemed a useful and authoritative pub- lication during the war, and was widely circulated. Although prepared for the soldiers of the regular army, it was equally applicable to the volunteer service except in some few cases that are fully explained.

Contains what the writer, "Obed Kedar" (pseudonym), says was a vision of the war then in progress. The "angel" which appeared to him "in IVfissouri" showed liim awful visions of car- nage ; two governments out of what had been the United States, the overthrowing of both by a monarchy ; the overcoming of the monarchy by the re-establishment of a single republican form of government; the freeing of the slaves; their uprising as a race and terrible devastation of the country, north and south, and then the coming of a permanent monarcli to rule over all the land. The author, whose sympathies, it could plainly be seen, were pro-slavery, wrote in scriptural style. "A Vision" was originally published as a serial contribu- tion in the Crisis, Columbus. Ohio, edited by Samuel Medary. See "Crisis, The." This pamphlet was circulated widely aniving the opponents of the Lincoln administration and the War.

The "angel" again select- ed the Fourth of Jul}- as the best time for a vision to Obed Kedar, whom Mr. Medary described as of Quaker lineage and about sixty years old. The publisher's preface also said that "thou- sands of our coimtrymen had read the first vision, and since liad watched with interest and wonder the fulfillment of its pre- dictions." The new vision seemed to concern the status of the Negro more than anything else, though some of the other pre- dictions were repeated. The "angel" stated that it was by divine sanction that slavery was estal)lished in America : that it had stopped cannibalism in Africa, because it was more profitable for the heathen to sell than to devour their enemies ; it brought them to America "where they were taught there is a God to be wor- shipped," and instructed them in the arts of civilization ; eventu- ally they would be returned to Africa to bring their own people out of Egyptian darkness, but the time was not yet; the Amer- ican people (especially those of the North) must cease their war- fare and let things become as they were, or the direst of dire calamities would befall them.

Boynton, who was commissioned as Major of this regiment and afterwards promoted to Lieutenant-Cok^nel. He commanded the regiment at Chickamauga, Mission Ridge and P>uzzard's Roost. At the storming of Mission Ridge he was severely wounded. Speak- KEIM (DE B. RANDOLPH) 221 ing of the Thirty-Fifth Ohio VoUiiitecr Infantry, he says: "The material of the regiment as a whole was from the worthiest fam- ihes of the Miami Valley. There was not enough of the rougher element from city, town, or country, to inake its impress. The officers were citizens of standing and the men were, in large part, the pride of the communities from which they hailed". The regiment was organized under the first call for volunteers to serve three years or during the war. It entered the field within a month from the date of muster of its first companies. This history is a very thorough and systematic record of the cam- paigns and service of the regiment. Conciseness and brevity have been kept in view, and the result, the historian has left a creditable monument to his organization. Chickamauga was its first great battle; it won honors at Mission Ridge and maintained its standard throughout the Atlanta campaign. The engagements and battles in which the Thirty-Fifth Ohio Volunteer Infantry participated are as follows: Siege of Corinth, Miss., April 30, 1862; Perryvillc, Ky., October 8, 1862; Tullahoma Campaign, Tenn., June 23-30. 1863; Chickamauga, Ga., September 19-20, 1863 ; Alission Ridge, Tenn., November 25, 1863 ; Buzzard Roost, Ga., February 25-27, 1864 ; Atlanta Campaign, Ga..

He was exchanged and made a brigadier- general, and was in constant and active service until the fatal field of Chickamauga when he fell leading his brigade. General Lytle was a poet of considerable merit. His most famous poem, written in 1857. is the well known "Antony and Cleopatra", commencing, "I am dying, Egypt, dying".

An eloquent and patriotic address delivered to his old com- rades-in-arms. It is severely denunciatory of the Southern leaders in the Civil War and eulogistic of the National cause, and the men who defended the Union. General Robert P. Kennedy was born at Bellefontaine, Ohio, January 23, 1840. In 1861 he enlisted as a private in the Forty- Third Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He served in the armies of West Virginia, Potomac, Cumberland and Shenandoah on the staffs of Generals Scammon, Gerard, Crook and Hancock with the 224 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO K respective ranks of captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel and brevet brigadier-general.

Cleveland, Ohio : Leader Printing Company, 146 Superior St. 1886. Cloth. 8 vo. pl>. 2S7, u'ith 7 Full Page Illustrations, ii Full Page Maps, and 5 Full Page Portraits. The author was a private in Co. C in this regiment ; in 1882 he was designated by his comrades of the Fourth Ohio Volunteer Infantry as its historian, and at the end of four years of labor and research he presented this volume. In twenty-six chapters he has carried four years of eventful and honorable service in a style and manner to make it extremely interesting, not only to his comrades, but to the general reader as well. The Fourth Ohio Volunteer Infantry was made up of com- panies raised in the Northern Central part of Ohio in the counties of Wayne, Stark, Knox, Delaware, Marion and Hardin, and mostly from the towns of Wooster, Canton, Mt. Vernon, Dela- ware, Marion and Kenton. It was organized at Camp Jackson, Columbus, April 25, 1861, within one week after President Lin- coln had issued his proclamation calling for seventy-five thousand men to serve three months and was composed principally of young men from prominent families and comfortable homes of farmers, merchants, mechanics and the various professions. Lorin Andrews, President of Kenyon College, who had volun- teered as a private became the Colonel of the regiment. All through the war this regiment was in hard fighting and did gal- lant service at every place of duty. It marched one thousand nine hundred and seventy-five miies, and traveled by railroad and transport two thousand two hundred and seventy-nine miles, in all four thousand two hundred and fifty miles. In addition to the historical narrative of the regiment's ser- vice, this volume contains memoirs of its distinguished dead and a chronological record showing the action and location each day from April 26, 1861 to June 14, 1865 when it was mustered out. A full and accurate roster completes the volume. The Fourth Ohio was gallantly engaged in the following bat- tles: Rich Mountain, W. Va., July 11, 1861 ; Romney, W.

Cloth. 12 mo. pp. 196. The One Hundred and Twenty-Third Regiment Ohio Vol- \niteer Infantry was organized at Moundsville, Huron County, under President Lincoln's second call, and was recruited during the months of August and September, 1862, from the counties of Erie, Huron, Seneca, Crawford and Wyandot. The original muster rolls of each company are given in this history. The ex- periences and campaigns of the regiment are also fully described. The regiment was captured two days before the end at Appo- mattox Court House, and was carried along with General Lee's army until his surrender to General Grant, when it was rescued. It participated in the following battles: Winchester, Va., June 13-15, 1863; New Market, Va., May 15, 1864; Piedmont, Va., June 5, 1864: Lynchburg, Va., June 17-18, 1864; Snicker's Ferry, Va., July 18, 1864; Winchester, Va., July 24, 1864; Berry- ville, Va., September 3, 1864; Opequon, Va., September 19, 1864; Fisher's Hill, Va., September 22, 1864; Cedar Creek, Va., Octo- ber 19, 1864; Petersburg, Va., March 30 to April 2. 1865; High Bridge, Va., April 6, 1865, and Appomattox Court House, Va., April 9, 1865.

The Colonel of the regiment at its organization was Captain William B. Hazen of the Eighth United States Infantry; he afterwards became Major General. Aquila Wiley, Captain of Co. C, became Colonel November 29, 1862; he was wounded and lost a leg at Mission Ridge and was brevetted Brigadier-General from March 13, 1865, "for gallant and meritorious services at the battles of Mission Ridge, Stone River, Chickamauga, and Chattanooga, and faithful services during the war". The material of this regiment came from the Western Re- serve and the counties adjoining; it was organized from August 26 to October 29, 1862, to serve for three years. Within a short time it was sent to Virginia and from thence to Louisville. It commenced its honorable career at Shiloh, and from that time its record is one of gallant and persistent service. The narrative of this history is the work of General Kimberly while the statis- tical matter was written and prepared by General Holloway. The result is an intelligent and accurate narrative, which gives the details of the regiment's honorable part in the following battles: Shiloh, Tenn., April 6-7, 1862; Stone River, Tenn., December 31, 1862 to January 2, 1863; Woodbury, Tenn., January 24, 1863; Liberty Gap, Tenn., June 25, 1863; Chickamauga, Ga., Septem- ber 19-20, 1863; Brown's Ferry, Tenn., October 27, 1863; Chat- tanooga, Tenn., November 23-25, 1863 ; Orchard Knob, Tenn., November 23, 1863 ; Mission Ridge, Tenn., November 25, 1863 ; Rocky Face Ridge, Ga., May 5-9, 1864; Resaca, Ga., May 13- 16, 1864: Adairsville, Ga., May 17-18, 1864; Cassville, Ga., May 19-22, 1864; Dallas, Ga., May 25 to June 4, 1864; Pickett's Mills, Ga., May 27, 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 9-30, 1864; Chattahoochee River, Ga., July 6-10, 1864; Siege of Atlanta, Ga., July 28 to September 2, 1864; Lovejoy Station, Ga., Sep- 228 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO tember 2-6, 1864; Franklin, Tenn., November 30, 1864; and Nashville, Tenn., December 15-16, 1864. The complete roster of the regiment with the military biogra- phy of each man is a valuable record. The Roll of Honor (pp. 265-291) was prepared by General Halloway. On general sum- ming up, this history shows that the Forty-First Ohio \^olunteer Infantry traveled during its service 14,500 miles: 5,200 by water, 3,800 by rail and 5,500 on foot. It was engaged in twenty battles, besides a great many skirmishes. It lost 109 killed in battle; 69 died of wounds ; 141 died of disease and 3 killed by accidents, a total of 322 deaths. There were 616 known to be wounded. [417] King (Chas. P.) The Important Part the Squirrel Hunters Played in the War of the Rebellion in Ohio.

New- ark, Ohio: n. p. 1906. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 4. When Cincinnati was menaced by a large army of Con- federates under General Kirby Smith in September, 1862, Gov- ernor Tod issued a call for the "minute men" of Ohio to rally for its defense. They came with a rush, bearing, generally, their hunting weapons, some fifty thousand from all over the State. This prompt action diverted the threatened raid. These men came to be known as the "Squirrel Hunters of Ohio," and were so named in their discharges, copies of which, with the figure of the typical hunter of the pioneer days and a portrait of Gov- ernor Tod. hang in thousands of homes throughout Ohio. In this address is given a history of this organization and interesting personal recollections of the writer. He covers the experiences of the organization, and of their camp at North Bend where they were stationed to await the call to conflict, which never came. [418] King (John H.)

LINCOLN (ABRAHAM) 237 [436] Lincoln (Abraham) President Lincoln's Views. An important letter on the principles involved in the Vallandigham case. Corre- spondence in relation to the Democratic meeting at Al- bany, N. Y. Philadelphia: King and Baird, Printers, 1863. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 16. This correspondence grew out of the arrest and banishment of Clement L. Vallandigham, for particulars of which see "Val- landigham, C. L." On the i6th of May. 1863, a Democratic meeting at Albany, N. Y., passed a series of resolutions, which were forwarded to President Lincoln protesting against the arrest, trial and sentence of Vallandigham. These resolutions together with the letter accompanying the same are published in this pamphlet, likewise. President Lincoln's reply dated "Executive Mansion, Washing- ton, June 12, 1863". Mr. Lincoln takes up specifically the resolutions of the meet- ing and his answer made a deep impression on the country. It is one of the very best of his argumentative writings. Among his answers is the following: "It is asserted, in substance, that Mr. Vallandigham was, by a military commander, seized and tried 'for no other reason than words addressed to a public meeting, in criticism of the course of the Administration, and in condemna- tion of the military orders of the General'. Now, if there be no mistake about this; if this is the truth and the whole truth; if there was no other reason for the arrest, then I concede that the arrest was wrong. But the arrest, as I understand, was made for a very different reason. Mr. Vallandigham avows his hos- tility to war on the part of the Union ; and his arrest was made because he was laboring, with some effect, to prevent the raising of troops ; to encourage desertions from the army ; and to leave the rebellion without an adequate force to suppress it. He was not arrested because he was damaging the political prospects of the Administration, or the personal interests of the commanding general, but because he was damaging the army, upon the exist- ence and vigor of which the life of the nation depends. He was warring upon the military and this gave the military constitu- tional jurisdiction to lay hands upon him. If Mr. Vallandigham was not damaging the military power of the country, then his arrest was made on mistake of fact, which I would be glad to correct on reasonably satisfactory evidence. I understand the meeting, whose resolutions I consider to be in favor of suppress- ing the rebellion by military force — by armies. Long experi- 238 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO ence has shown that armies cannot be maintained vmless desertioft shall be punished by the severe penalty of death. The case re- quires, and the law and the constitution sanction, this punishment. Must I shoot a simple-minded soldier-boy who deserts, while I must not touch a hair of a wily agitator who induces him to de- sert? This is none the less injurious when affected by getting a father, or a brother, or friend, into a public meeting and there working upon his feelings till he is persuaded to write the soldier- boy he is fighting in a bad cause, for a wicked Administration of a contemptible Government, too weak to arrest and punish him if he shall desert. I think that in such a case to silence the agitator and save the boy is not only constitutional, but withal a great mercy."

Pamphlet, iz mo. pl>. 60, with 2 Photographs of Lincoln. This speech was delivered in the campaign in which William Dennison was a candidate for Governor. It was one of Mr. Lincoln's most important utterances before his election to the Presidency in the following year. He devotes his discussion to answering Stephen A. Douglas' speeches on popular sovereignty and the extension of slavery, and addresses himself largely to Kentuckians — citizens of his native state. He appeals to all the opponents of slavery extension to unite upon some good man as a presidential candidate for i860, and he declares that he has no choice, but will support even a candidate from the South if he will stand for this principle. This was one of two speeches in this campaign — the other was delivered at Colum- bus a few days before. Mr. Lincoln made his address from the second story bal- cony of a building which was then located on the north side of Fifth Street, where the Government Building now stands. This booklet contains the history and organization of Mr. Lincoln's meeting, and a fac-simile of his letter accepting the invitation to speak in Cincinnati. It states that "he was greeted by a large assemblage of more than four thousand strong." Benjamin Eggleston was the President of the meeting, and among the Vice Presidents is the name of Rutherford B. Hayes. The portraits LIST (a), etc. 239 of Mr. Lincoln reproduced herein "are so far as known, the only original ante-presidential negatives in existence."

The compiler was a prisoner in Andersonville, and while there was paroled and detailed as a clerk in Surgeon J. H. White's office to keep a daily record of deaths of all Federal prisoners of war. In August, 1864, he began to secretly copy the entire list of the dead, which was brought safely through the lines in March, 1865. This is that list. Pages 46-51, in double columns, contain the names of all the Ohio soldiers who died in prison, together with the date of death, regiment and company, the disease died of and the prison number. An introduction giving the history of the record is written by Dorence Atwater, the compiler. The publication also contains a report written by Clara Barton "of an expedition to Andersonville, Georgia, July, 1865, for the purpose of identifying the graves and inclosing the grounds of the cemetery created there during the occupancy of that place as a prison for Union soldiers in rebel hands." Miss Barton speaks of the "forethought, courage and perseverance of Dorence Atwater, a young man, not yet twenty years of age," for the securing and preservation of this record.

This volume contains all the Nasby letters published in the three preceding titles, and additional letters to May 12, 1870. Mr. Sumner in his introduction to this volume writes : "Be- yond the interest in these letters as another instance of a pecu- liar literature — illustrated by Major Jack Downing, Sam Slick, and the genius of Hosea Biglow, — they have an historic char- acter from the part they performed in the war with slavery and in advancing reconstruction. Appearing with a certain regular- ity and enjoying an extensive circulation, they became a con- stant and welcome ally. Unquestionably they were among the influences and agencies by which disloyalty in all its forms was exposed, and public opinion assured on the right side. It is im- possible to measure this volume, .'^gainst the devices of slavery and its supporters, each letter was like a speech, or one of those songs which stir the people. Therefore, they belong to the po- litical history of this critical period. Of publications during the war, none had such charm for Abraham Lincoln. He read every letter as it appeared, and kept them all within reach for refresh- ment. This strong liking illustrates bis character, and will always awaken an interest in the letters".

Speech of Hon. Alexander Long, of Ohio, de- livered in the House of Representatives, April 8, 1864. Washington : n. p. 1864. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 20. In this speech Mr. Long boldly advocated the recognition of the Southern Confederacy, and denounced the continuation of the war. For these expressions the Speaker of the House (Mr. Schuyler Colfax) offered a resolution for his expulsion; it failed to pass, but the House substituted a resolution of censure. Mr. Long's speech was not indorsed by the Democratic members of Congress. Mr. Harris of Maryland, however, defended its position, for which he was also censured; see "Harris, Benj. Gwinn." The speech was bitterly denounced by the Republican members ; see "Schenck, Robert C." ; "Davis, H. Winter." The right to express himself as Mr. Long did in this speech, was de- fended by his party colleagues, without indorsing his sentiments ; see "Wood, Fernando." This pamphlet also contains Mr. Long's defense in the de- bate on the resolution of censure. [445] Long (Alexander) Speech of Alexander Long, of Ohio, in the House of Representatives, February Tth, 1865. Washington: n. p. 1865. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. l6. A very aggressive speech against the Lincoln Administra- tion condemning "the present deplorable condition of the coun- try and the madness and fanaticism that rules the hour". Mr. Long herein claims that the war is a failure, and urges peace and separation of the States. The speech is one of the most radical and bitter anti-war and secession expressions of the period. Alexander Long was elected to the Thirty-Eighth Congress from Cincinnati in 1862. Early in the second session of that Congress he delivered a speech in which he criticised President Lincoln and the war in the most treasonable manner. A reso- lution to expel him failed of the constitutional majority by eleven. He was however publicly censured by the House. Gen- 244 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO eral Schenck in a severe speech denounced him with great per- sonal bitterness. See "Schenck, Robert C." Hon. Fernando Wood of New York, defended Mr. Long in a speech of great force ; see "Wood, Fernando". Next to Vallandigham Mr. Long was the most active in opposing war measures. He failed to be re-elected, being succeeded by General Rutherford B. Hayes, afterwards President of the United States. [446] Lucas (Daniel B.)

Beall's correspondence, diary and life show him to have been a Christian and brave man, with more enthusiasm than discretion.

An interesting and romantic personal reminiscence centering around the presentation, the capture and the return of a pair of revolvers that came back to the writer after a quarter of a century of separation, and after they had been carried and used under two flags. The story also permits a description of two great battles in which the writer participated — that of Mur- freesboro, or Stone River, and of Mission Ridge — the first named one of the hardest fought battles of the War, and the last the most spectacular. General Manderson entered the Union Army from Canton, Ohio, enlisting as a private in 1861, and filled all grades including brigadier general. He resigned because of wounds received at Lovejoy's Station, Georgia, in 1865. Resumed his profession at Canton, and was elected prosecuting attorney of Stark county, Ohio. Removed to Omaha, Nebraska, in 1869; served as United States senator from that state from 1883 to 1895. He was presi- dent pro tern, of the United States Senate in the Fifty-First and Fifty-Second Congresses. (246) MANSFIELD (EDWARD D.) 247 l4S0| Mansfield (Edwaud D.) The Issues and Duties of the Day.

The writer discusses the cause and eiifect of the doctrine of secession, and the disastrous influence on repuWicanism abroad if the South should win. This pamph- let was extensively circulated by the National Union Associa- tion of Ohio in the presidential canvass of 1864. Edward D. Mansfield contributed much to the literature of Ohio, and wrote many treatises on mathematics, politics, educa- tion and the early history of the State. He was born at New Haven, Connecticut, August 17, 1801, and died at Morrow, Ohio, October 27, 1880. For twenty-five years he was a regular con- tributor of the Cincinnati "Gazette". He served as Commis- sioner of Statistics of Ohio, from 1859 to 1868. During the war his pen was used vigorously in defense of the Union. [451] Marietta College in the AVar of Secession, 1861-18G5.

The author also wrote the title following this ; having served as Adjutant in the Forty-Second Ohio Volunteer Infantry prior to enlistment in the Twelfth Ohio Cavalry. Indeed nearly all of the officers of this regiment were veterans who had seen service in the first years of the war. This history is one of the exception- ally well written regimental war records. The author has the art of historical perspective and he has left a useful and val- uable memorial of his regimental service. This regiment was organized at Camp Cleveland, Ohio, from the State at large from August 17, 1863, to November 14, 1863, to serve for a term of three years. It participated in the fol- lowing engagements: Mt.

Major General, afterwards President Garfield, was the first Colonel of this regiment, which was organized at Camp Chase, in September, October and November, 1861, to serve three years. This work is one of the best of regimental histories and it tells its story in true literary style, making it not only a fitting memorial for the Forty-Second Ohio Volunteer Infantry, but a valuable collection of material for ultimate history.

He maintains that the future prosperity and existence of our country depends on our being just in our relations with man and law ; justice must obtain in "private and public, equal and exact without respect to persons, to white and black, to learned and ignorant, to strong and weak, for justice and judgment are eternal habitations". Stanley Matthews was born in Cincinnati July 21, 1824. Admitted to the bar in 1842. Served in the army of the Fifty- First O. V.

Thoroughly representative of the anti-administration views of that time. The speech is a dignified and historical address on the necessity of maintaining a free press, and attacks the Lincoln administration and the Union party for its attempts to control and suppress the utterances of newspapers as tyrannical. The Ohio Legislature during the war was the scene of many bitter and prolonged debates. The speeches were generally printed in pamphlet form and circulated extensively. They are now very scarce.

The history is a gossipy narrative, the data of which are taken from the author's record of every-day affairs taken on the .spot. It was written and published by authority of the regiment, declared at its eighth annual reunion, held at Columbus, Ohio, August II, 1881. The organization of this regiment was commenced at Camp Chase in August, 1862; it was ordered to Camp Zanesville and then to Camp Dennison, where the organization was completed. Its baptism of fire was on the bloody field of Chickamauga. Its record of battles is as follows: Chickamauga, Ga., September 19-20, 1863; Siege of Knoxville, Tenn., November 17 to Decem- ber 4, 1863; Rocky Face Ridge, Ga., May 5-9, 1864; Resaca, Ga., 252 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO May 13-16, 1864; Dallas, Ga., May 25 to June 4, 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 9-30, 1864; Assault on Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 27, 1864; Peach Tree Creek, Ga., July 19-20, 1864; Jonesboro, Ga., August 31 to September i, 1864; Siege of Savan- nah, Ga., December 10-21, 1864; Averysboro, N.

Notwithstanding that the author of this pamphlet says in his preface that it is not intended as a contribution to either liter- ature or history, it is emphatically a valuable contribution to both. It is the first and only complete record we have of that little known, but important organization "Lincoln's Body Guard". Its history briefly stated is as follows: The Union Light Guard, otherwise known as the Seventh Independent Company of Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, was organized by Governor David Tod during the months of November and December, 1863, for a special ser- vice, the nature of which was not disclosed to the members of the company until some time after it was mustered into the service. The original intention was to select one man from each county in the State to be designated by county military commit- tees. After muster at Columbus, they left for Washington, D. C. When they arrived there, they learned for the first time that they were to be a body-guard for President Lincoln. The story of their service is graphically told in the few pages of this pam- phlet. A full roster and the residence of the men where they enlisted is given, as well as the present (1909) residence of the forty survivors. In 1908 these survivors affected a permanent organization at Columbus, Ohio, with Lieutenant G. C. Ashmun as President, and Robert W. McBride, the writer of these pages, as Secretary. m'CARTY (JOHN W.) 253 [462] McCarty (John W.) Lessons from the life and death of a good ruler.

His letter, incorporating therein the proclamation of Governor Brough is published in this pamphlet. The sermon, while highly eulogizing Lincoln, was to a considerable extent devoted to the subject of treason. [463] McClellan (George B.) Report on the Organization and Campaigns of the Army of the Potomac : to which is added an account of the Campaign in Western Virginia, with plans of Battle- Fields. By George B. McClellan, Major-General United States Army. New York: Sheldon & Company, Pub- lishers, 335 Broadway, cor. Worth Street. 1864. Cloth. 8 vo. pp. 480, with 4 Full Page Maps. General McClellan's report on the campaign in Western Vir- ginia included in this volume is an important contribution to the history of Ohio troops in the war. Herein is given the opera- tions of these troops that early in the war period were sent into Western Virginia to engage in the first movements against the Southern Confederacy. The Ohio regiments named in this re- port and participating in the campaign in Western Virginia are as follows : Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Nineteentli, Twentieth, and Twenty-Second Infantry ; Barnett's Ohio Battery and Burdsall's Ohio Dragoons. George B. McClellan was born in Philadelphia, December 3, 1826. Graduated at West Point in 1846. Served in the Mexican War at Vera Cruz, Cerro Gordo, City of Mexico, Con- treras and Churubusco. After the war he was ordered to West Point as instructor. He resigned from the army in 1857 and 254 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO became vice president and engineer of the Illinois Central Rail- road, and afterwards general superintendent of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. When the Civil War broke out he was commissioned major general of the Ohio troops by Governor Dennison. The states of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and the western part of Pennsylvania were invited to form the Army Department of the Ohio, and were placed under his command. In June 1861, his army crossed into Western Virginia, and by the middle of July that part of the State was cleared of Confederate troops. After this campaign he was summoned to Washington to take charge of the Army of the Potomac, and commissioned as major general of the United States Army. When General Scott retired General McClellan was made General-in-chief. In 1864 he was the Democratic candidate for the Presidency against Mr. Lin- coln. In 1877 he was elected Governor of New Jersey. General McClellan died October 29, 1885 at Orange, New Jersey. His fame as a general rests on his great powers as an organizer and disciplinarian.

A patriotic address praising not only the soldiers, but also highly commending the services of the loyal men and women who remained at home and supported those in arms. In the opinion of this speaker the proudest bulwarks of the American Republic, as taught by the lessons of 1861, are the patriotism of its people and the valor of its soldiers.

Cincinnati, n. p. 1908. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. i6. James E. Murdoch was a noted elocutionist and dramatic reader and did much during the war with his talents to inspire the North with patriotic enthusiasm. He first gave to the public T. Buchanan Read's "Sheridan's Ride", and on the platform did much to arouse the loyal sentiment of the North. Dr. McCook, one of the "Fighting McCooks" embodied in a poem an incident of Murdoch at Chattanooga which was read as the above title indicates. "The Power of Language" is a humorous paper on the linguistic talents of the army mule driver and narrates vividly the parts that character played in the movements of troops. [466] MacEl'rey (J. H.)

The preliminary note of the author explains his purpose. He says: "I have often been requested by members of the 86th Ohio Regiment and by others to write an account of the military opera- tions in 1863, against the stronghold of Cumberland Gap. At length a brief statement has been prepared. The true history of the inside history, so to say, — has not heretofore seen the light. I kept a diary throughout the campaign, the events of each day having been set down before I slept.

Pamphlet, s^ '""■ /"/"• ^• This regiment was mustered into the service as the One Hundred and Seventeenth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in September, 1862, at Camp Portsmouth, Ohio. In October following the regiment was ordered to Kentucky, where for the succeeding seven months it was engaged in guard duty and ex- peditions against guerrillas. In May, 1863. orders were issued by the War Department changing the organization into the First Regiment Heavy Artillery, Ohio Volunteers, and on August 12, 1863, it was so reorganized with twelve full companies, aggre- gating 1839 officers and men. Under General Davis Tillson the MILLS (lewis este) 261 regiment was engaged in the construction of exterior fortifica- tions around Covington and Newport, Kentucky. On February 19, 1864, it started under orders, through heavy snow and in extreme cold weather over the mountains to Knoxville, Ten- nessee, arriving there March 9. In this little pamphlet a faith- ful and interesting record of the regiment's service is given un- til its mustering out July 25, 1865, at Knoxville.

Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 32. This is a reply to certain criticisms of General Pope. The writer maintains that the official records show that the objects of the Virginia Campaign were to protect Washington and to bring in safely the Army of the Potomac. This he claims was successfully done. General Pope was a member of the Cincinnati Literary Club, and the writer refers to this fact in his conclusion : "It has been a pleasure to me to thus prove to the Club by un- disputable facts that the record of our fellow-member who gave us our first drill when at its first meeting after the fall of Fort Sumter the Club resolved itself into a military company, a rec- ord so widely known by his brilliant capture of New Madrid and Island No. 10, has in no respect suffered by this much abused, much misrepresented, but successful and brilliant Virginia Cam- paign".

An interesting biography of one who had he lived would have ranked as one of Ohio's great generals. The military ca- reer of General Mitchel is given in ten chapters, pages 205-378 of this volume. Opening this part of his life, the author says : "It is the summer of 1861. The government is in peril, and those whom it has trained to military service are springing for- ward to its defense. The time has come for Mitchel to render 262 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO back to Caesar the things which he received from Caesar. With the training given him thirty years before by the people of the United States, he had gone forth to achieve success. It had se- cured enviable rank among scientists and engineers ; it had given him fortune. What honorable man could sit quietly at home when the source from which these blessings had been derived was suddenly menaced by a great danger?" How well he did his duty and gave his life for his country these pages tell. On the 8th of August, 1861, he was appointed Brigadier-General with headquarters at Cincinnati and on the nth of April, 1862, was promoted Major General. He commanded the Department of the South, but in the midst of his plans for the future, he was stricken with yellow fever and died at Hilton Head, South Carolina, October 30, 1862. [482] MONFORT (E.

A very complete, but brief history of the operations of the Union forces, under General W. H. Milroy, in West Virginia in the spring of 1862. These operations culminated in the severe battle of McDowell, May 8, 1862. Under General Milroy in this engagement were the following Ohio regiments: Twenty- Fifth, Thirty-Second, Seventy-Fifth and Eighty-Second. The writer has preserved a valuable and accurate description of these important movements, drawing upon his personal observations and the official records. The Tygart Valley was the scene of so many skirmishes and engagements that it became a continuous battlefield during the winter and spring of 1862.

It is weird and extraordinary and reminds one of Foe's imaginative creations. A treasure of past pirates is its subject, and the adventures of the two lieutenants in endeavoring to recover this is the subject of the story. It is given as a correct statement of what occurred.

The argument of this address was that the slavery question was an inheritance from the Colonial Congress which framed the Declaration of Independence, and was the problem of our Government from its very beginning. That such men as Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips and John Brown, while they may have given the car of freedom an impetus forward, were not the cause of the Rebellion. That the Constitution guaran- teed slavery, and the only ground upon which President Lincoln could proclaim emancipation to the slaves was that of military necessity, and on that ground he acted. 264 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO [486] MOULTON (C.

According to the author this little sketch of the life of Ma- jor General Rosecrans is compiled chiefly from current accounts of his life and from an acquaintance first formed in the house of his brother, Bishop Rosecrans, of Columbus, Ohio. It contains much information concerning the General not to be found else- where; the reminiscences of his private life are charming, as well as the style in which they are written. , General Rosecrans graduated from West Point in 1842 and entered the corps of engineers as brevet second lieutenant. He resigned in 1854 and established himself at Cincinnati, engaging in private business. At the beginning of the Civil War he promptly offered his services to his country. Was made colonel of the Twenty-Third Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and on May 16, 1861, was appointed Brigadier General. His first important action was that of Rich Mountain, Virginia, which he won.

The Eleventh Independent Battery Ohio Volunteer Artil- lery was mustered into service October 27, 1861, at St. Louis Arsenal to serve three years, and was mustered out November 3, 1864, on expiration of term of service, at Columbus, Ohio. It honorably participated in the following engagements: New Madrid, Mo., March 13, 1862; Advance on Corinth, Miss., April 30 to May 30, 1862; luka, Miss., September 19-20, 1862; Cor- inth, Miss., October 2-3, 1862 ; Siege of Vicksburg, Miss., May j8 to July 4, 1863, and Mark's Mills, Ark., April 25, 1864. Captain Neil (who afterwards served in the Twenty-Second Ohio Battery) has contributed in his historical sketch a vivid description of the daring work of the Eleventh Ohio in the bat- tles of luka and Corinth. The battery entered the fight at luka with ninety-seven men and five officers, of these eighteen were killed and thirty-nine wounded, many mortally. Of the cannoneers alone, forty-six out of fifty-four were killed or wounded. Fox's "Regimental Losses in the American Civil War," states that the losses of the Eleventh at luka were twenty- two per cent, greater than that sustained by any other light battery in any one engagement during the war. At Corinth this battery displayed a like heroism, which is vividly recorded by the writer.

Mitchel to destroy a rail- road; with a narrative of their barbarous treatpient by the rebels, and Judge Holt's report. New York: Miller and Matthews. 1863. Pamphlet 8 vo. pp. 47. This is the first pubHshed account of the most daring and thrilling incident of the war. It also contains the official report of the Judge Advocate General to the Secretary of War, giving the detailed testimony of certain members of the expedition. The whole event reads like a romance. In April, 1862, under the authority and by the direction of General Ormsby M. Mitchel, a plan was organized having for its purpose the destruc- tion of railroad communication between Atlanta and Chattanooga on the Georgia State Railroad. This was to be accomplished by burning the railroad bridges and otherwise destroying the method of transportation. The dangerous enterprise was suggested by J. J. Andrews, a citizen of Kentucky and one of the secret service men of the Union army. Without knowledge of their service a picked set of men was detailed for that purpose under the com- mand of Andrews. For this reason it is known as the "Andrews Raid". The men selected for this perilous errand were all Ohio soldiers, except Wm. Campbell of Kentucky. Their names and regiments are as follows: William Knight, Co. E; Wilson W. Brown, Co.

These twenty-two men left their camp at Shelbyville, Tennessee, April 7, 1862, crossed the moun- tains in different squads, arrived at Chattanooga, and by raid penetrated the heart of the Southern Confederacy. They assembled at Big Shanty on the Georgia State Railroad, where there were encamped about 10,000 Confederate troops. At this point was communicated to them the duty they were expected to do, viz : destroy the track and bridges on the line of this road and thus prevent reinforcements and commissary stores from reaching Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia. To do this it would 18 274 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO be necessary to destroy the track and bridges from Big Shanty to and beyond Chattanooga and as far as Bridgeport, Tennessee. The story of this raid as given in the plain language of the actors taken as testimony before Judge Advocate General forms the most daring adventure of the war. The expedition failed in its purpose, but the seizing of the train at Big Shanty, the pur- suit by the Confederates, the capture of the raiders, the execution of Andrews and six of his associates all testify to the superb courage and patriotism of these brave men. The true estimate of the great danger of this enterprise to the Southern Confederacy was given in the Southern Confederacy, a prominent Atlanta Journal dated the 15th of April, 1862: "The mind and heart shrinks back appalled at the. bare contem- plation of the awful consequences which would have followed the success of this one act. We doubt if the victory of Manassas or Corinth was worth as much to us as the frustration of this grand cotip d' etat. It is not bv any means certain that the annihilation of Beauregard's whole army at Corinth would be so fatal a blow to us as would have been the burning of the bridges at that time by these men." Those of the expedition executed were : George D. Wilson, Co. B ; Marion A. Ross, Co. A, the Sergeant Major of the Regi- ment ; Perry G. Shadrack, Co. K, all of the Second Ohio ; Samuel Robinson, Co. G and Samuel Slavens, Co. D, both of the Thirty- Third Ohio; John Scott, Co. K, Twenty-First Ohio; William Campbell, a citizen of Kentucky, and J. J. Andrews, a citizen of Kentucky and leader of the raiders. [501] Ohio Commandert. Songs of the Ohio Commandery, Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States.

Cloth. 8 vo. pp. /pp. with Large Map in Envelope on Front Cover. S5 Full Page Illustrations and Frontispiece Containing Portraits of Generals Rosecrans, Thomas, Bragg and Longstreet. One of the official publications of the State, now out of print and very scarce. It contains an elaborate map of the battle- field of Chickamaug;a, a brief history of the battle, and sketches of the Ohio batteries and regiments engaged in it, with their movements and participation during the two terrible days it was fought. \\'ith each sketch is a fine half-tone photo engraving of one of the fifty-five monuments erected by the state to com- memorate the location of the regiments and batteries in the engagement. Then follows the report of the work of the Ohio Commis- sion in the erection and dedication of these monuments. The volume is a worthy testimonial of the State of Ohio to the memory of her brave sons who fell in one of the bloodiest battles of modern times. The commission who had the work in hand of marking the battlefield and making this report was appointed by Governor James E. Campbell May 5, 1891. It consisted of the following, all of whom participated in the battles of Chickamauga : Gen. John Beatty, Gen. Ferdinand Van Derveer, Gen. C. H. Gros- venor, Gen. Aquila Wiley, Capt. J. C. McElroy, J. S. Gill, An- drew Jackson, and Frederick Wendell. In December, 1892, Col. James \\'atson was appointed to succeed Gen. \^an Derveer, deceased. General Boynton characterizes Chickamauga as tlie "most noted battlefield of modern times, when measured by the stub- born and undaunted fighting done upon it — a standard whose fairness there will be none to dispute". Of the losses at Chicka- mauga he says: "\\'ellington lost 12 per cent at Waterloo; Napoleon, 14^ per cent at -Austerlitz and 14 per cent at Mar- engo. The average losses of both armies at Magenta and Sol- ferino in 1859 was less than 9 per cent. At Koniggratz in 1866, it was 6 per cent. At Worth, Mars-la-Tour, Gravelotte and Sedan, in 1870, the average was 12 per cent. The marvel of 19 290 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO German fighting in the Franco-Prussian \V'ar was by the Third Westphahan Infantry at Mars-la-Tour. It took 3,000 men into action and lost 40.4 per cent. Next to this record was that of the Garde-Schutzen IBattalion, 1,000 strong at Metz, which lost 46.1 per cent. There were several brigades on each side at Chickamauga whose losses exceeded these figures for Mars-la- Tour and Metz. The average losses on each side for the troops that fought through the two days were fully 33 per cent, and for some even 75 per cent". See The National Military Park, by H. V. Boynton, p. 257.

Cloth, 8 vo. pp. 384, with 2 Full Page Maps and 46 Full Page Illustrations. 292 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO , This commission was appointed by Governor George K. Nash, under and by autliority of an act passed April i6, 1900, by the General Assembly of Ohio. Its object was to locate the positions occupied by the several Ohio connnands on and near the investment lines during the siege of Vicksburg, and to mark such locations with creditable monuments. The Commission as appointed by Governor Nash consisted of General Andrew Hickenlooper, of the Fifth Ohio Artillery; Captain E. Z. Hays, of the Thirty-Second Ohio Infantry; Major Charles Hipp, of the Thirty-Seventh Ohio Infantry; Sergeant W. P. Gault, of the Seventy-Eighth Ohio Infantry; Colonel A. H. Brown, of the Ninety-Sixth Ohio Infantry, and Sergeant Josiah B. Allen, of the Thirtieth Ohio Infantry. Through the death of General Hickenlooper and the illness of Colonel Brown, vacancies occurred which were filled by the appointment of Colonel James Kilbourne, of the Ninety-Fifth Ohio Infantry, and Colonel William H. Raynor, of the Fifty-Sixth Ohio In- fantry. This report contains the history of every Ohio organization that was engaged in the Mcksburg campaign and illustrations of the monuments erected in the locations occupied by them. It has also the proceedings of the dedication, the ceremonies and addresses delivered on that occasion. The following Ohio organizations are shown by the report to have been engaged in the campaign and siege of Vicksburg from March 29 to July 4, 1863: Infantry Regiments: Six- teenth, Twentieth.

Also the Fourth Company of Ohio Cavalry, General Mc- Pherson's escort. This report, like those of Antietam, Gettysburg, Chicka- mauga and Shiloh, forms a valuable and reliable history of the part Ohio troops played in that battle. They are all well written and constitute accurate and important additions to the Civil War literature of the State.

ORGANIZATION, ETC. 293 The platforms of the poHtical parties in Ohio, before, during and immediately after the War, are a necessary part of the literature of that period, and are essential in studying the political condition of the times. These platforms show that the people of Ohio were divided between the Union party and the Democratic party. The former was composed of Republicans and Democrats favorable to a vigorous prosecution of the War, and to sustaining the administration of Mr. Lincoln ; all prior issues were ignored. This party distinction obtained until 1867, when the name the "Republican Union" was assumed ; this appears in the platforms until i86g when the name "Republican," which was last used in i860, was resumed.

These pages demonstrate how well the regiment deserved and how gallantly it maintained its reputation. All the chapters not credited to others are by the author who was a captain of the regiment. The chapters by Lieutenant Colonel C. P. Wickham, Captain W. S. Wickham and Rev. W. A. Keesey have special value and the one by Charlotte Wooster Boalt entitled "The Women in the War", having special reference to relief work in Huron County is of exceptional interest. The history is one of the best regimental contributions. Its narration of four years' service almost entirely on the front and on the firing line is in 294 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO K true historical style, and the campaigns of Virginia, Gettysburg and the March to the Sea are described fully because the Fifty- Fifth Ohio Volunteer Infantry played an honorable part in all. This regiment was organized at Norwalk, Ohio, from Sep- tember to December, 1861, to serve three years. Its honorable service is testified to by the following list of battles in which it participated: McDowell, Va., May 8, 1862; Cross Keyes, Va., June 8, 1862; Cedar Mountain, Va., August 9, 1862; Second Bull Run, Va., August 30, 1862; Chancellorsville, Va., May 2, 1863; Gettysburg, Pa., July 1-3, 1863; Orchard Knob, Tenn., November 23, 1863; Mission Ridge, Tenn., November 25, 1863; Buzzard's Roost Gap, Ga., May 8, 1864; Resaca, Ga., May 15, 1864; Cassville, Ga., May 19-22, 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 9-30, 1864; Chattahoochee River, Ga., July 12, 1864; Peach Tree Creek, Ga., July 20, 1864; Siege of Atlanta, Ga., July 28 to September 2, 1864; Turner's Ferry, Ga., August 27, 1864; Siege of Savannah, Ga., December 10-21, 1864; Averysboro, N.

During its term of service this regiment enrolled about one thousand three hundred and fifty men, and of these, about seven hundred and fifty were either killed or wounded in battle. Ten of its officers were wounded once or more, and eight officers either died of wounds or were killed in battle. [543] OSTRANDER (JaMES S.) "An Hour with Victory."

Five days after President Lincoln's first call for troops, Chapin Hall, Cleveland, was filled with ladies who gathered to- gether to inaugurate plans to serve their country in its impend- ing peril. What they did and how it was accomplished is told in this volume. Every historical detail is here given ; the method of operation, the names of the numerous women who partici- pated in the work and a complete record of all supplies collected and distributed. The Soldiers' Aid Society of Cleveland was recognized by the United States Sanitary Commission as a val- uable adjunct and it was soon extended over Northern Ohio. These women through an association exclusively operated by women, issued to the Cnion soldiers in the field, supplies valued as follows: Bedding and clothing, $645,234.50; hospital furni- ture and surgeon's supplies, $55,017.45; diet and delicacies, $256,053.50; miscellaneous, $26,175.80; total, $982,481.25. In addition they afforded special relief to soldiers at home in the way of aid to the sick, $35,536.33. This work is divided into two parts. Part I — General His- tory, by Mary Clark Brayton. Part II — Special Relief, by Ellen F. Terry. A complete knowledge of what Ohio did in the war cannot be realized until one has read this history of the work of the Cleveland Branch of the U. S.

Cloth. 16 mo. pp. 196. 296 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO ;.; This little volume is more personal than historical, and the history of the Seventy-Fourth Regiment is largely the diary of the author. It is interesting for that reason alone; it cannot be regarded of great value historically. In addition to his own regiment, the author includes sketches of all the regiments in which Greene County men served, so that the work includes the Civil War history of that county. The Seventy-Fourth Ohio Volunteer Infantry was organized at Xenia, Greene County, in October, 1861. Its Colonel was Granville Moody, a well-known Methodist minister and popular orator. The regiment has a fine record and the following list of battles was honorably par- ticipated in by it: Stone River, Tenn., December 31, 1862, to January 2, 1863; Hoover's Gap, Teim., June 24, 1863; Dug Gap, Ga., September 11, 1863; Chickamauga, Ga., September 19-20, 1863; Lookout Mountain, Tenn., September 19-20, 1863; Mis- sion Ridge, Tenn., November 25, 1863; Buzzard Roost Gap, Ga., May 9, 1864; Resaca, Ga., May 13-16, 1864; Dallas, Ga., May 25 to June 4, 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 9-30, 1864; Chattahoochee River, Ga., July 6-10, 1864; Peach Tree Creek, Ga., July 20, 1864; Atlanta, Ga., July 22, 1864; Siege of At- lanta, Ga., July 28 to September 2, 1864; Jonesboro, Ga., Aug- ust 31 to September i, 1864; Averysboro, N.

By Ira S. Owens, Company C, Seventy-Fourth O. V. I. Dayton, Ohio : Christian Publishing House Print. 1884. Cloth. 13 mo. pp. 294. The preface states : "In 1872 the author of this book wrote and published a small book the title of which was 'Greene County in the War'. But the supply being exhausted a second edition has been published similar to the first one, but enlarged and re- vised. In addition to the first book, sketches of other regiments have been added, together with anecdotes and incidents of the late war; also a list of Greene County's soldiers, copied from OWENS (iRA s.) 297 muster-rolls in the Adjutant General's office at Columbus. In this, as well as the former work, the author does not attempt a general history of the rebellion, but simply a history of his own regiment — the Seventy-Fourth Ohio — and parts of other or- ganizations in which Greene County was represented. It is not however confined to Greene County alone, but to other counties in the State as well." [547] ATTON (J. T.) Personal Recollections of Four Years in Dixie.

While this is an individual's record and recollections of the war, it is also a history of the Fifth Ohio Volunteer Infantry and (298) PENDLETON (GEORGE H.) 299 gives an interesting account of the regiment's service. The first campaigning was in western Virginia. The regiment was the first in the "On to Richmond" advance by way of the Rapidan, under Gen. John Pope, which met with repulse. It was also at Chancellorsville, where it suflfered heavily, and at Gettysburg and in other notable engagements. It was also a part of the forces sent to New York to quell the draft riots ; it was also, following this, transferred to the Department of the Tennessee, where it aided in opening the "cracker line" that made possible the capture of Lookout Mountain and the defeat of Hood's army at every point. During much of this time, the author served as quartermaster. During its term of service, this regiment took part in twenty-eight different engagements, the principal of which were: Winchester, Va., March 23, 1862; Port Republic, Va., June 9, 1862; Cedar Mountain, Va., August 9, 1862; An- tietam, Md., September 17, 1862; Dumfries, Va., December 27, 1862; Chancellorsville, Va., May 1-4, 1863J Gettysburg, Pa., July 1-3, 1863; Lookout Mountain, Tenn., November 24, 1863; Dallas, Ga., May 25 to June 4, 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 9-30, 1864; Assault on Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 27, 1864; Peach Tree Creek, Ga., July 20, 1864; Siege of Atlanta, • Ga., July 28 to September 2, 1864; Siege of Savannah, Ga., December 10-21, 1864, and Goldsboro, N. C, March 21, 1865. This regiment was organized at Camp Dennison, Ohio, June 21, 1861, to serve three years and was retained in service until July 26, 1865, when it was mustered out by the War Department. Included in this work are addresses which the author de- livered on the occasion of the reunion of his regiment at Cin- cinnati in September, 1898; at the National Military Home at Dayton and also various addresses to the Union Veteran Legion at its encampments. The book was not published for general circulation as only a limited number of copies were printed. [549] Pendleton (Geoege H.)

Delivered in the House of Representatives, January 18, 1861. Washington : Printed by Lemuel Towers. 1861. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 8. Mr. Pendleton herein argues against the right of the gov- ernment to use force in preventing the dissolution of the Union. 300 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO It is the initiatory declaration of his peace principles which he adhered to and advocated throughout the war. He was one of the most distinguished and able of the Democratic statesmen of his time, and was a consistent and persistent anti-Administra- tion leader throughout all the period of the Civil War. George H. Pendleton was born at Cincinnati, July 25, 1825. In 1854-5 he served in the Ohio Senate and was a member of Congress in 1856-65. In 1864 he was a candidate for Vice Pres- ident on the Democratic ticket. In 1878 he was elected Unitcil States Senator from Ohio, and in 1882 he introduced the Civil Service reform bill known by his name, and passed in 1883. He was appointed Minister to Germany by President Cleveland in 1885. Died at Brussels, Belgium, November 24, 1889. [550] Pendleton (George H.) Power of the President to Suspend the Privilege of Habeas Corpus. Speech of Hon. George H. Pendleton, of Ohio, delivered in the House of Representatives, Decem- ber 10, 1861. Washington : n. p. 1861. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 8. The suspension of the writ of habeas corpus was ordered by President Lincoln early in the Rebellion. April 27th, 1861, he authorized Lieutenant General Winfield Scott to .suspend the writ for the public safety. This military power was exercised through- out the war. Mr. Pendleton as one of the leading Democratic opponents of the war and President Lincoln's administration was an uncompromising enemy of the exercise of this extraordinary power. In this speech he reviews the history of the great writ and discusses dispassionately the grave question involved. A complete answer to his position is found in Mr. Lincoln's letter to the Albany Convention. See "Lincoln, Abraham". The suspension of the writ of habeas corpus was ordered by Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy at various times during the Rebellion throughout the Southern States, and under his order, many Union men of the South were arrested and imprisoned without trial.

The government in the prosecution of the war in order to raise money authorized the issue of United States notes, popu- larly called "greenbacks".

In one dated Cincinnati, October 17, he says no one would deprecate more heartily than he the establishment of an- other government over any portion of the Union, and that he was opposed to any policy which would defeat the re-establish- ment of the Government on its old foundations and territorial integrity. In the other, under date of October 18, he defended his votes in Congress on war measures. In the speech he de- clared that his party was pledged to unswerving fidelity to the Union under the Constitution. The reprints of newspaper edi- torials were to the effect that Mr. Pendleton's election would be worse for the cause of the South than Mr. Lincoln's, their re- production evidently being for their adverse influence on North- ern sentiment.

He discusses a side of the great Emancipator's nature not fully understood and little touched upon by his biographers. The facts gathered in these pages show Lincoln to have been of a deep religious temperament with an implicit faith in a personal God, and a strong belief and confidence in the efficacy of prayer.

Herein the author writes his personal recollections from the time that General Sherman took command of the Army of PEPPER (GEORGE W.) 303 the Tennessee to the end of the Rebellion. He does not claim to give a complete narration of all the movements of Sherman's army, but he has arranged and written an impartial history of the most prominent engagements and campaigns in the states of Georgia and the Carolinas. It is one of the very earliest of the contributions of Ohio writers to the literature of the Civil War, and is attractively written, the author possessing marvel- ous power of narration and description. In the beginning of the War, the author was pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Coshocton, Ohio. He enlisted and was made captain of Company H Eightieth Ohio Volunteer In- fantry. In 1863, by request of his regiment, he was appointed its chaplain. He has embodied in his work much of his observa- tions in that capacity ; the volume when published, received the written approval of Governor Tod, Generals Sherman, Cox and Miles as well as Senator Charles Sumner.

A brilliant work, full of satire and sarcasm. Belittles Grant and glorifies Thomas. Contains a splendid sketch of Edwin M. Stanton ; the author gives him full credit and great praise, as he does Salmon P. Chase. It is full of venom and personal feel- ing. The writer was one of the most talented contributors to the literature of the war period, but most of his work is impaired by a spirit of unfairness. Donn Piatt was born in Cincinnati, June 29, 1819. In 1851 he was appointed judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Hamilton County, Ohio ; he was secretary of legation at Paris under President Pierce, .^t the outbreak of the civil war he entered the Union army as a private, attained the rank of col- onel and was assistant adjutant-general on the staflf of General Robert C. Schenck. He entered journalism in Washington, D. C, founded and edited the Washington "Capital", by which he raised a constant turmoil in his criticism and bitter attacks on public men. Later he returned to Ohio where he engaged in literature and farming. He died at Cleveland, November 12, 1891. PIATT (dONN) 305 [S6i] Piatt (Donn) General George H. Thomas.

A vivid biography, picturing General Thomas as one of the greatest generals of the war, which he undoubtedly was, but it is marred by scurrilous abuse of General Grant and reflections on every other great general of the Union cause. The closing chapters are by General H. V. Boynton who took up this part on Donn Piatt's death. General Boynton has written in the same spirit as the chief author, and devotes much of his work to drastic and largely unwarranted criticism of General Sherman. Notwithstanding these bad features, this volume contains much that is good, true and valuable concerning the war, and it is entitled to rank among tiie important writings contributed by Ohio meti to Rebellion literature.

The reliability of the author's statements and service is certified to by the officers under whose orders he acted. He enlisted at Portsmouth and afterwards resided at Hillsboro where this volume was written. 20 306 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO [563] PiNNEY (N. A.)

Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 148, with Portraits — 2 Full Page. This regiment was recruited almost wholly from the coun- ties of Stark, Columbiana, Summit and Portage. It was mus- tered into the service at Camp Massillon, August 30, 1862, and the 1st of September it left for Cincinnati to defend that city against the threatened raid of the rebel general, Kirby Smith, who was then besieging the city. At Covington, Kentucky, the One Hundred and Fourth Ohio Infantry met the Confederate forces and in the engagement lost one man killed and five wounded. The enemy's loss was double that. This was the first and only blood shed in the defense of Cincinnati. In this volume the author follows the fortunes of the regi- ment from the first engagement at Covington, Kentucky, Sep- tember ID, 1862, to that at Town Creek, North Carolina, Febru- ary 20, 1865. Added to the history of its regimental campaigns and services are the personal observations of the writer. The appendix contains the list of annual reunions, and roster of officers and men, by companies, giving the military biography of each. This regiment was engaged in the following battles : Cov- ington, Ky., September 10, 1862; Danville, Ky., March 24, 1863; Siege of Knoxville, Tenn., November 17, to December 4, 1863; Dallas, Ga., May 25, to June 4, 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 9-30, 1864; Pine Mountain, Ga., June 14, 1864; Lost Mountain, Ga., June 16, 1864; Siege of Atlanta, Ga., July 28, to September 2, 1864; Utoy Creek, Ga., August 5-6, 1864; Co- lumbia, Tenn., November 24-29, 1864; Franklin, Tenn., Novem- ber 30, 1864; Nashville, Tenn., December 15-16, 1864; Fort An- derson, N.

While the subject of this volume is the adventures narrated in the preceding title, the present one is a broader and more his- toric narration. The author in his preface says, "a large amount of valuable material is now employed for the first time; and the story is approached in an entirely different manner.

In this, the fourth and last edition, Mr. Pittenger has given the last word of the Andrews Raid, after having full recourse to the Rebellion Records at Washington, and going over the territory he and his associates traversed during the War. It becomes, in this edition, more of a historical work than a nar- rative of adventure, though he has preserved all the thrilling narrative of the former editions. It also includes more ex- tended statements from the survivors concerning their individual trials and experiences after the lamentable failure of the ex- pedition. A full account of the capture, imprisonment and the execution of eight of the raiders is given with great historical detail and earnestness. All the official documents, both Union and Confederate, relating to the venture are given in detail. This work is one of the most important to the literature of the Rebellion and it records the greatest and most daring sacrifice that Ohio soldiers made to the cruel demands of the Civil War.

This volume contains the full stenographic report of the charges, specifications and trial of William A. Bowles, Andrew Humphreys, Horace Heffren, L. P. Milligan and Stephen Horsey for aiding the enemies of the United States. The evidence showed the existence of a secret political or- ganization known as the Order of the American Knights or Order of the Sons of Liberty for the purpose of overthrowing the Government and duly constituted authorities of the United States. One of its specific objects was to release by force the prisoners at Camp Chase and Johnson's Island in the State of Ohio, as well as at Camp Douglas, Illinois, and Camp Morton, Indiana. The testimony further showed that this organization was widespread in Ohio and that its head was Clement L. Vallandig- ham. See "Vallandigham, Clement L." In addition to the official proceedings the exhibits in the case are published among which is the "Ritual of the Knights of the Golden Circle", also the Official Report of the Judge Advo- cate General on the "Order of American Knights" or "Sons of Liberty".

Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 16. In this speech is foreshadowed the parting of the Northern and Southern Democracy on the questions growing out of slavery. Senator Pugh was the most brilliant of all the Northern PUGH (GEORGE E.) 313 Democratic Senators, and this speech is one of great force and ability. He severely denounces the idea of Disunion, as threat- ened by the speeches of the Southern Senators. Senator Pugh's speech is an authoritative statement of the position assumed by the Democratic party of the North to that of the South. [578] PUGH (GKORGE E.) Territorial Policy. Speech of Hon.

Senator Pugh herein censures the South for its aggressive attitude on the slavery question and for its unreasonable opposi- tion to the Northern Democrats for supporting "squatter sov- ereignty". It replies to the radical speeches of Senator Iverson, of Georgia, and Senator Green, of Missouri, and defends the position of Senator Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois. It illus- trates and defines the position of the leading Northern Demo- crats on the slavery question just before the war, and especially has reference to the Democratic party in Ohio. George E. Pugh was born in Cincinnati November 28, 1822. He served in the Mexican war, commanding one of the companies of the Fourth Regiment of Ohio Volunteers. In 1848 he was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives and re- elected in 1849. He served as United States Senator for a full term from March 4, 1855, to March 4, 1861. In the Senate dur- ing his single term he showed great power and ability in the dis- cussions on the Kansas-Nebraska and Slavery questions. In 1863 he was nominated for Lieutenant-Governor on the ticket with Clement L. Vallandigham. He had been Mr. Vallandigham's counsel in the habeas corpus proceedings growing out of his (Vallandigham's) arrest, and delivered in the case a profound argument before United States Judge II. H. Leavitt. In his profession he was at the head of the bar of Ohio. He was an able lawyer, a great advocate and an accomplished orator. He died at Cincinnati, July 19, 1876. [579] Pugh (George E.)

Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. i6. Hon. William L. Yancey, of Alabama, in a speech represen- tative of the radicalism of the Southern Democracy, vigorously supported the platform presented by the majority of the Commit- tee on Resolutions. Mr. Pugh in this speech opposed the re- port of the committee. He desired his party not to commit it- self to the extension and perpetuation of slavery. "I desire the people of the United States," said he, "North and South, to en- gage in some other discussion — to quarrel, if need be, on some- thing else than this eternal business of slavery and slaves."

Pamphlet. S vo. pp. 16. A plea for conciliation of the South, and an attack on the position of the Republican party. His plan is expressed as fol- lows: "Let us revive the Missouri Compromise in all its prin- ciple and affect ; let us put it into the Constitution of the United States ; let us declare that it shall be unalterable, except by con- sent of all the States." He asks that the people of the slave- holding states be given additional guarantees as to their insti- tution of slavery. The speech is a strong, logical and eloquent argument against the growing public sentiment in the North against slavery and secession. [581] PUGH (GEOKGE E.) Columbus Convention.

This speech of Mr. Pugh's was brilliant, defiant and treasonable ; it aroused immense enthusiasm for Val- landigham and for the peace party of the North. It represented the high water mark of opposition to the National Government in Ohio, and obtained a wide circulation in the campaign which followed. [582] tTARTEKMASTER GeNEUAI.

A brief and scant record, beins; a simple statement of events, written, as the author says, "almost from memory, owing to the fact that all the regiment's notes and papers have been captured as will be seen before concluding this narrative". The Seven Ih Ohio Volunteer Cavalry was recruited from the counties in the southwestern part of the State, and was mus- tered into the service from September 12 to November 8, 1862, to serve three years. During its service it numbered four- teen hundred men; when mustered out, July 4, 1865, it had left eight hundred and forty men, showing a loss of five hundred and sixty by the casualties of war. The battles and engagements in which the regiment partici- pated are as follows: Carter's Station, Tenn., December 30, 1862, and September 22, 1863 ; Mt.

When mustered in. in connection with the Forty-First O. V. I., it had three regimental officers and 80 enlisted men. In May, 1864, at Bridgeport, Alabama, where it was then on duty, there were five commissioned officers and 151 enlisted men. A full list of their names (the veterans being designated) is in- cluded.

This history was prepared by a committee of the regiment, and is a faithful record of the marches, campaigns and engage- ments in which it participated from October, 1862, to Johnston's surrender in April, 1865. It is written in narrative form, and there is an absence of all personal adventures and sketches. A complete record of each individual of the organization is also given, which is of great value. This regiment was recruited from the counties of Greene„ REED (henry) 321 Clarke, Miami and Darke. Companies A and G were from Clarke; E and H from Greene; B, C and D from Miami; and F, I and K from Darke. It was mustered in at Camp Piqua in Miami county, on the 23rd and 24th days of August, 1862, and immediately went to the field, and from that time until the close of the war the regiment participated in every battle fought by the department to which it was assigned ; the principal en- gagements being the following: Perryville, Ky., October 8, 1862; Stone River, Tenn., December 31, 1862, and January i, 2 and 3, 1863: Tullahoma Campaign.

Cincin- nati: Enquirer Steam Presses. 1862. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 36. A temperate and philosophic justification of slavery as a humane and necessary institution to the prosperity of the North and South. The author, without bitterness, but with great earn- estness, argues that the North has too much interest in the pros- perity of the South to consent to the abolition of Slavery. His arguments throughout are purely commercial, and he takes no note of the moral side of the slave question. This lecture is il- lustrative of a pronounced sentiment favorable to slavery in the North before and during the War. This was especially true in Cincinnati and the southern parts of Ohio, Indiana and Il- linois. [592] Reed (Heney) The Secession of the Whole South an Existing Fact.

Originally appearing from January 28 to February 5, 1861, in the Cincinnati Daily Press, a series of five remarkable articles are here reproduced in pamphlet form "at the request of some of our most substantial business men." The writer believed in the traffic in African slaves, arguing from a commercial stand- point. He held that the South could not be forced to remain in the Union and advocated letting the seceding States form an in- dependent government peaceably. Such a course, he believed would inure to the prosperity of both republics. He declared that "the opening of the South to the importation of laborers from teeming Africa will give the same impetus to Southern prosperity that the North derives from the emigration of free laborers from Europe."

Cincinnati: Robert Clarke & Co. 1882. Cloth. 8 vo. pp. 201. This is a severe criticism of General Grant's campaigns and plans as carried out at Vicksburg and Chattanooga. It is cyn- ical and very hostile. Written in a newspaper office twenty years after those battles, the writer aspires to tell how they should have been fought and how many mistakes were made by the great general who snatched victory from his enemies. General Sher- man is also bitterly criticised in these pages. The author di- vides honors with Donn Piatt, General Boynton, and Col. T. Worthington in the use of scathing and sneering English when writing of Grant and Sherman. The work shows a close study of the military records but it is a "vain thing". Grant captured Vicksburg and Sherman won battles even though not by the plans of the writer. Mr. Reed was a brilliant editorial writer on the Cincinnati Gazette, and his criticisms attracted a wide, but temporary notice, at the time of publication.

Aside from the official publications of the state this is the most comprehensive literary work on Ohio's part in the w^ar for the Union. It is the first and last great contribution to the State's history of that period. The author labored two years on his work, drawing upon all sources of information — official and personal. The first volume relates to conditions of the State at the outbreak of the war, the various administrations of the war Governors, the political occurrences, the Morgan Raid, the military legislation, in fact, to every phase of life in connec- tion with the activities of that time in Ohio. It also includes the biographies of Ohio generals and men prominent in the public service during the war. The second volume contains the history and roster of every military organization, infantry, cavalry, and artillery. A fine index completes the work. It will always be a rich store-house from which historians will gather materials for future literary works on the war and Ohio's part therein. A republication of "Ohio in the War" from the original plates was issued in 1893 by the Eclectic Publishing Company of Columbus, Ohio. The plates of this were destroyed by fire some years ago and it is now out of print. The author, Whitelaw Reid, was born at Xenia, Ohio, Octo- ber 27, 1837. He graduated from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, in 1856. During the war, 1861-2, he was correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, and afterwards served on the staff of General Rosecrans in West Virginia. Became connected with the New York Tribune in 1868, serving as editor-in-chief, man- aging editor and finally became proprietor in 1872. Entered 324 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO public life as United States Minister to France in 1889; was Republican nominee for Vice President in 1892 ; appointed spe- cial ambassador to Queen's Jubilee in 1897. In 1898 he was a member of the Peace Commission to Paris for Spanish-American War and in 1902 went to Enofland as Special Ambassador to the Coronation of Kins' Edward. He has been Ambassador to England since 1905. His career has been distinguished in both the public service and the world of letters. He has written many essays on various subjects and many published addresses. [596] Keid (Whitelaw) After the War. A Southern Tour, May 1, 1865 to May 1, 1866. By Whitelaw Keid.

Mr. Reid spent almost a year immediately following the Re- bellion touring the Southern States. What he observed is de- tailed in this book. He sought to show the condition in which the war left the South ; the feelings of the whites ; the situation and capabilities of the liberated slaves, and the openings for capi- tal and industry. Part of the volume describes the Southern journey of Chief Justice Chase, Mr. Reid being of his party. In an appendix is published Mr. Chase's speech to the negroes of Charleston, S.

[687] Rice (Owen) Afield with the Eleventh Army Corps at Chancellors- ville. A paper read before the Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion of the United States, October 7, 1885. By Companion Owen Rice, Late Captain Co. A, Acting Major 153d Penn. Vol. Infantry. Cincinnati: H. C. Sherick & Co. 1885. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 38. Among the numerous controverted historical incidents of the Civil War is the conduct of the Eleventh Army Corps at the battle of Chancellorsville. The writer says : "The popular be- lief in regard to this, based on extrinsic considerations, dissem- bling reports, and the unreasoning selfishness of contemporary hyper-criticism is, that this organization, almost wholly German in nationality, composed largely of 'petits chevaliers,' whose ardor fluctuated with the tickings of some foreign stock-ex- change, had now become demoralized and contumacious, be- cause of the removal of Sigel from command, with its covert indignities ; that it was posted as skillfully and advantageously as any other division of the Army, and yet, with arrant pol- troonery, gave way en masse, and thus, without justifiable cause, imperiled the safety of the Army and of the Nation's cause at a most critical juncture of the War." Captain Rice gives in this paper a vivid description of the scene and enters a vigorous defense of the Eleventh Army Corps. He charges the disastrous position of that organization to the weakness and mistakes of Major General Howard. This paper was also published in "Sketches of War IJistory," Volume L 358.

He was a rad- ical anti-slavery leader in his locality. In 1856 elected prosecut- ing attorney of Cuyahoga county ; defended the Oberlin-Wel- lington slave rescue in 1859. He was elected to Congress in 1861, serving one term. Settled in Washington to practice law, and in 1864 aided in behalf of the Government in the prosecu- tion of John H.

During the war Senator Wade was Chairman of the Committee on the Conduct of the War, undoubtedly one of the most potent factors in mihtary affairs at Washington. This work is valuable for its contribution to the history of the perilous part Senator Wade took in the ante-war period, and for a full study of his attitude during the war, in the im- peachment of President Johnson and in the re-construction period.

[695] Robertson (Robert Stoddart) From the Wilderness to Spottsylvania. A paper read before the Ohio Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, by Companion Robert Stoddart Robertson, late First Lieutenant Ninety-Third New York Volunteer Infantry, Brevet Captain U. S. Vol- unteers, Brevet Colonel N. Y. Volunteers, December 3, 1884. Cincinnati : Henry C. Sherick. 1884. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 35. The writer was a staff officer to General Nelson A. Miles in the campaign of the Wilderness and the bloody days which followed. After the battle of Mine Run, which was fought in the last of November, the winter of 1863-4 was spent by the Army of the Potomac north of the Rapidan River. In this ROBINSON (GEORGE F.) 3^ paper is given a very interesting description of how the officers of that great army passed their time. Lectures, balls, games, and harmless revelry were the order of the day and night until marching commenced through the Wilderness to Spottsylvania. The battle of the Wilderness is described with dramatic detail, and the writer as an aid was in position to see much of the severest fighting and the movements of the troops. Spottsyl- vania followed the Wilderness and the Union loss was 26,000 men. From the Wilderness to Spottsylvania, seven days in time, 84,598 men on both sides had fallen. The writer of this mono- graph has preserved a most vivid recollection of the terrible and bloody campaign which was the occasion of Grant's historic dispatch ending, "I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer."

In the spring of 1864, the law of Ohio required the Asses- sors of the different townships in the State to enroll all enlisted and commissioned men in the War for the Union. That work is the basis of the information found in this volume. To con- firm and improve this the compiler has devoted much time to personal investigation in order to make the roster accurate.

The House having under consideration the resolution to expel Mr. Long, this speech was made in opposition to it. Mr. Rogers opposed it on the ground that it interfered with free 362 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO ,. speech and he disclaims any sympathy with Mr. Long's senti- ment as to secession and the war. The speech is an able and conservative statement of his position. See "Long, Alexander," and "Schenck, Robert C." • [698] BOSECRANS (W. S.) Letters from General Rosecrans. To the Democracy of Indiana. Action of Ohio Regiments at Murfreesboro regarding the Copperheads. Philadelphia. Printed for the Union League. 1863. Pamphlet. i6 mo. pp. 8. This pamphlet was circulated very extensively in the North during the political campaigns of 1863. It was aimed at the rapidly rising "peace-at-any-price" sentiment, and expressed the views of the Democratic soldiers in the field against the actions of their party at home, especially in Ohio and Indiana. General Rosecrans in two letters, one to the General Assembly of Ohio, and the other to the Mayor and Common Council of Cincinnati denounced in very hostile language the tendency manifested in some quarters in the North. The Democratic commanding offi- cers of Indiana also addressed to the Democracy of Indiana a letter regarding the sentiments of their party in that state which is also published herein. The Ohio regiments at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, also took similar action. [699] Rosecrans (W. S.) Report of the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tenn. By Ma- jor Gen. W. S. Rosecrans, U. S. A.

It in- cludes the story of the operations of the Army of the Cumber- land, the occupations of middle Tennessee and passage over the Cumberland Mountains, and the battle of Chickamauga. In this reprint General Rosecrans states that he is "especially indebted to Brigadier General James A. Garfield, chief of staff, for the ready manner in which he seized the points of action and ex- pressed in orders the ideas of the General commanding." [701] ROSECEANS (W. S.) General Rosecrans' Open Letter to Horace Greelev, Editor of the New York Tribune. ( New York : n. p. 1866. ) Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 5. General Rosecrans in this letter addressed to Mr. Greeley complained that great injustice had been done him by the press of the Eastern States, especially by the New York Tribune. With the communication, which is both temperate and logical, he said he was sending, "as requested," a copy of the sixth edi- tion of the "Annals of the Army of the Cumberland" containing his official report of the campaign and battle of Chickamauga "which gave us East Tennessee and the gateway to the heart of the Southern Confederacy." He then proceeds to an analysis of what was done in what Secretary Stanton had "presumed to call 'the disastrous battle of Chickamauga,' " and makes com- parisons with other battles.

By Companion William Rule (of Knoxville, Tenn.) late Adjutant Sixth Tennessee Infantry, U. S. Volunteers. Cincinnati : H. C. Sherick & Co, 1887. Pamphlet. S vo. pp. 23. A brief but interesting history of the trials and experiences of the Union people of Eastern Tennessee. At the time just preceding the Rebellion, the Governor of this state was an avowed secessionist. He sent a message to the legislature, urg- ing that body to provide for holding a convention for the pur- pose of passing an ordinance of secession, which was done. The legislature provided that while electing delegates the voters might at the same time say whether or not the convention should be held. As a result, the proposition to hold a convention was voted down by an overwhelming majority. In the counties of eastern Tennessee, in an aggregate vote of forty-three thousand, the majority was more than twenty-three thousand. This was in February, 1861. But this did not satisfy the leaders of the secession movement. Afterward the legislature, in extra session, ordered an election to again vote on the proposition, and on the 8th of June, over-awed by the miHtary force of the Southern Confederacy, the State was declared out of the Union. The people of East Tennessee, still true to the Union gave a majority of twenty thousand against secession. From that time until the close of the war the loyalists of Tennessee were conducting the Civil War within their own territory and in this paper the author has given the thrilling events of that period with great force and earnestness.

The orig- (372) SAWYER (franklin) 373 inal members (except veterans) were mustered out July. 13, 1864, by reason of expiration of service. At the annual reunion of the regiment held at Norwalk on the 17th day of September, 1868, the members of the regiment requested the author to prepare this history. It was not pub- lished until thirteen years after. The writer of this regimental history entered the Eighth Ohio Infantry as Captain, in 1861, and was promoted to Major July 8, 1861 ; to Lieutenant-Colonel, November 25, 1861, and brevetted Brigadier General March 13, 1865. The history is a complete and well written record of the services and campaigns of his regiment, and contains a full roster of the three months' and the three years' men of the organization. This regiment as shown by these pages, was in seventy-six battles and skirmishes. It marched about two thousand two hundred and sixty miles, and was transported by rail and steam- ship two thousand three hundred and eighty miles, making an aggregate of four thousand six hundred and forty miles trav- eled during its term of service.

A civil and military biography of General Schenck issued in his campaign for Congress against C. L. Vallandigham and in which he was elected to the Thirty-Eighth Congress. This sketch recites his career in the Ohio Legislature, in Congress, as Foreign Minister abroad and as a soldier in the Civil War. Robert C. Schenck was born at Franklin, Ohio, October 4, 1809. He read law under Hon. Thomas Corwin, at Lebanon, Ohio, and was admitted to the bar in 1831. He served in Con- gress from 1843 to 1851, when he was appointed Minister to Brazil. At the opening of the Civil \\'ar, he entered the army and was wounded severely at the second battle of Bull Run. He attained the rank of Brigadier General, when he resigned his SCHENCK (ROBERT C.) 375 commission to accept a seat in Congress to which he was elected in 1862, over C. L. Vallandigham. In 1870, he was appointed Minister to England which office he filled with distinction and ability, until 1876. He died March 23, 1890. In his career as lawyer, legislator, soldier and diplomat, he developed a high or- der of character and power. BCHKNCK (Robert C.) No Compromise with Treason.

This speech was upon the resolution declaring Alexander Long, a Democratic member of Congress from Cincinnati, un- worthy of membership in the House on account of an ultra and anti-war speech proposing the recognition of the Southern Con- federacy. General Schenck's speech is an intense arraignment of Mr. Long and the element which he represented in the North charg- ing them with treason to the cause of the Union. [728] SCHUCKEES (J. W.)

Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 16. 380 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO ,^ Principally a reply to Mr. Vallandigham's speech defending the South and attacking the position of the administration of President Lincoln. Mr. Shellabarger's speech reviews the con- spiracy of rebellion and charges the South with deliberately precipitating the war to perpetuate slavery. The speech quotes Southern statesmen to prove this position. The author was born in Clarke County, Ohio, December lo, 1817, was a member of the Ohio Legislature in 1852 and 1853, a member of the Thirty-Sev- enth Congress from July 4, 1861, to March 4, 1863, and also served in the Thirty-Ninth, Fortieth and Forty-Second Con- gresses. He was Minister to Portugal under President Grant, retiring to private life he practiced law in Washington until his death. He was a lawyer of distinction and ability and his speeches show this.

Mr. Shellabarger's speeches on this and kindred subjects of war legislation rank among the ablest of this period. They had wide circulation outside of Congress and presented the Republican position more forcibly than any of his contemporaries in the House of Representatives. They assumed the form of a legal argument rather than that of a political speech. [740] Shellabarger (Samuel) Disfranchisement of Rebels. Speech of Hon. S.

Vol. II, pp. 486, with 5 Full Page Portraits, 7 Folding and 7 Full Page Maps, and 2 Full Page Illustrations. A soldier's story of his life, written in plain and modest style. In his preface he says: "In offering this record, penned by my own hand, of the events of my life, and of my participa- tion in our great struggle, for national existence, human liberty, and political equality, I make no pretension to literary merit ; the importance of the subject matter of my narration is my only claim on the reader's attention". In these pages, General Sheri- dan narrates but little of his early life in Ohio, and devotes him- self to the record of his military career which commenced with his entrance to West Point, July i, 1848. He was born in Al- bany, N. Y., March 6, 1831. When a year old, his parents re- moved to Somerset, Perry County, Ohio, where he spent his youth and from whence he was sent to the military academy at West Point. He graduated thirty-fourth in a class of fifty-two, of which James B. McPherson, afterwards General, killed before Atlanta, was the head. General John M. Schofield, and the Con- federate, John B. Hood, were also his classmates. He served in the army in the West and at the outbreak of the Civil War was appointed captain of the Thirteenth Regular Infantry. In May, 1862, he became Colonel of the Second Michigan Cavalry, and was made Brigadier-General of Volunteers in July followmg. SHERIDAN (PHILIP H.) 383 From thenceforward, his record is inseparably connected with the romance and military genius of the Rebellion. His career was at once one of the most picturesque and most striking of the illustrious heroes wlio were brought prominently into view by the events of the great Civil War. He filled the ranks of Brig- adier-General and General. General Sheridan died at Nonquitt, Massachusetts, August 5, 1888. [746] Sheridan (Philip H.)

Speech of Hon. John Sherman of Ohio, at the Cooper In- stitute, in the City of New York, April 13, 1860. New York : n. p. 1860. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 8. This speech is devoted to a defense of the policy of the Republican party on the question of the extension of slavery. Although delivered before the outbreak of the war it is essential to properly understand the political differences that caused se- cession. It can be taken as a conservative statement of the anti- slavery sentiment of the Republican party. Mr. Sherman was not an abolitionist, and was not in accord with his radical party associates and Ohioans, Wade, Giddings and Chase. He was opposed to the extension of slavery and believed it would die in time in the South. The destruction of slavery was reached through the war, and Mr. Sherman kept abreast of the move- ment. In this speech he pleads for freedom in the Territories of the young West and predicts that continental railroads will be built across the plains and the new land will be the garden of the Nation if unpolluted with slavery. The speech is almost proph- etic in its farsightedness. There is no bitterness nor crimina- tion, but it is nevertheless uncompromising and aggressive. It SHERMAN (JOHN) 385 ts instructive to students of this period as defining the attitude of the two great parties on the eve of the election of i860. John Sherman was born at Lancaster, Ohio, May 10, 1823. He early entered public life ; in 1848 he was a delegate to the Whig National Convention ; in 1855 he presided at the first Re- publican State Convention in Ohio which nominated Salmon P. Chase for Governor. From this time to his death Mr. Sher- man was conspicuous in the state and nation as a leader of the Republican party. As Congressman, Senator, Secretary of the Treasury and Secretary of State, he won fame in all stations of honor. From i860 to 1900 there was scarcely a great financial measure with which the name of John Sherman was not con- nected. He died October 22, 1900. [750] Sherman (John) Shall the United States be coerced by a State? Speech of Hon. John Sherman, of Ohio, delivered in the House of Representatives, January 18, 1861. Washington: n. p. 1861. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 8. Sherman in his "Recollections" refers to this speech thus : "The only political speech I made was in reply to an ingenious speech of my colleague George H. Pendleton, made on the i8th day of January, 1861. I replied on the same day without prep- aration, but with a lively appreciation of the dangers before us". Mr. Pendleton's speech was in opposition to the use of the army to preserve the Union. See "Pendleton, George H." Mr. Sher- man's reply was made in a spirit of patriotic fervor but is very conservative. It is devoid of the radicali-sm of Wade, Bingham and others who spoke at the same time. He reviewed the situa- tion as it then existed and appealed to the South to give Mr. Lincoln, not yet inaugurated — a fair hearing and trial. [751] Sherman (John) Correspondence between S. Teackle Wallis, Esq., of Baltimore and the Hon. John Sherman of the U. S. Senate, concerning the arrest of Members of the Maryland Legis- lature, and the Mayor and Police Commissioners of Balti- more in 1861. Baltimore: n. p. 1863. Pamphlet. 8 vo, pp. 31. 25 386 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO This correspondence grew out of the arrest of the members of the Maryland legislature by order of President Lincoln for the purpose of preventing a session to pass an ordinance of se- ■cession. Mr. Wallis was a member of that body and was one of those arrested and imprisoned. In his letter to Mr. Sherman, he calls that gentleman to account for his speech in the United States Senate justifying the President. Mr. Sherman in his reply goes into the details of the cause and law of the arrests and cites facts to show that the sentiments and preparations of the lead- ers of secession all pointed to treasonable acts. Mr. Wallis writes a rejoinder denying any right in law or the existence of facts to warrant Mr. Lincoln's action. The correspondence re- veals Mr. Sherman's positive stand for the Union, and discloses political conditions in Maryland at that time. It warrants the conclusion that except for the pressure of the National Govern- ment, Maryland would have seceded. [752] Sherman (John) Battle of Pittsburg Landing — Volunteers of Ohio. Re- marks of Hon. John Sherman, of Ohio, in the Senate of the United States, May 9, 1862. Washington : Scammell & Co., Printers. 1862. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 8. After the battle of Pittsburg Landing, or Shiloh, a section of the public press, notably the Chicago papers, published indis- criminate charges of cowardice and misconduct on the part of several Ohio regiments on the field. Even the Union command- ers, Grant and Sherman, were not exempt from these attacks. Growing out of these publications Senator Sherman offered a resolution in the United States Senate calling for copies of all the official reports from all of the ' officers in command in the battle. The three Ohio regiments singled out by the press for denunciation were the Fifty-Third, Colonel Appier; Seventy- First, Colonel Mason, and the Seventy-Seventh, Colonel DeHaas. Senator Sherman in this speech reviews these reports and reads personal letters from the commanding generals. He takes up in detail the movements and operations of the different Ohio or- ganizations and demolishes all charges of cowardice or miscon- duct on the part of Ohio regiments. This speech is of great historical value and is a necessary reference iu studying the bat- tle of Shiloh. SHERMAN (jOHN) 387 [753] Sherman (John) Speech of Hon. John Sherman, of Ohio, on Taxation of Bank Bills; delivered in the Senate of the United States, January 8, 1863. AVashington: Printed at the Congres- sional Globe Office. 1863. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 15. The problem of raising money to carry on the extensive operations of the National forces and to provide for the pay- ment of the debt thereby incurred was next in importance to the conduct of the armies in the field. In this work Mr. Sherman was the chief aid to Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase. One of the embarrassments to the Secretary of the Treasury in disposing of the bonds of the United States was the existing circulation of the State banks. It was Mr. Sherman's plan to tax this circulation with a view of taxing them out of existence. In this carefully prepared speech he advocates the passage of a bill introduced by him containing two sections, the first to levy a tax of two per cent per annum on the circulation of all bank bills and the second to provide for a tax of ten per cent on all fractional currency under one dollar issued by corporations or individuals. Herein he defends this bill ; he not only argues for the proposed tax, but declares it his purpose to urge a gradual increase of the tax until all state bank bills were excluded. He then reviews the system of state banking and gives a financial history of the past and present condition of the country a knowl- edge of which will add greatly to a full understanding of the dangers confronting the government at that time. Mr. Sher- man's ideas as outlined in this speech were adopted by Congress. [754] Shekman (John) Uniform National Currency. Speech of Hon. John Sherman, in the Senate of the United States. Tuesday^ February 10, 1863. Washington: Gideon & Pearson, Printers. 1863. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 16. This speech is in support of a bill introduced by Mr. Sher- man January 26, 1863, "to provide a national currency, secured by a pledge of United States stocks, and for the circulation and redemption thereof". It became a law February 25 follow- ing — this is one of Mr. Sherman's most elaborate and power- 388 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO ful financial speeches. Under this law the National banks were ■organized and it has proved to be one of the strong financial sup- ports of the government. As a war measure it was one of the substantial aids to maintain the National forces in the field. [755] Sheeman (John) Speech of Hon. John Sherman, of Ohio, on Emancipa- tion as a Compensation for Military Service rendered by Slaves. Delivered in the Senate of the United States, February 2, 1864. Washington, D. C. : McGill & With- drew. 1864. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. i6. One of the most interesting and valuable of all of Mr. Sherman's public writings. He advocates the use of the slaves in the military service of the United States; reviews historically the enlistment of colored freemen and slaves in the wars of the United States — with Great Britain and Mexico. Maintains the constitutional right of the Nation to make such enlistments, and when the slaves used belonged to loyal citizens, he advocated payment for same, and freedom to the slave, his wife, mother and children. The speech is valuable for its historical discussion and displays the wide knowledge of Mr. Sherman on public affairs. He criticises the Emancipation Proclamation of Pres- ident Lincoln and doubts the constitutional power of the Pres- ident to issue it. [756] Sheeman (John) Speech of Hon. John Sherman, of Ohio, in the Senate of the United States, on the General Financial Policy of the Government; delivered February 27, 1865. Washing- ton: Gibson Brothers, Printers. 1865. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 8. Mr. Sherman reviews the financial legislation resultant from the necessities of the rebellion. A full study of his speeches dur- ing the distressful period of the war is necessary to completely understand the immense value his statesmanship was to his country. In these speeches the whole financial history of the war may be read. SHERUAN (jOHK) 389 [757] • Sherman (John) Speech of Hon.

Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. sz. The question before the Senate was upon a resolution of the House of Representatives declaring that no Senator or Rep- resentative shall be admitted to either branch of Congress from any of the eleven States which were declared to have been in insurrection until Congress shall have declared such State en- titled to such representation. Mr. Sherman in this speech makes an elaborate argument favoring the resolution. [758] Sherman (John) Remarks of Hon. John Sherman, of Ohio, on Recon- struction.

This was one of the hundred days' regiments and was formed of two companies of the Fifty-Eighth and the Seventy- Sixth Battalions with the Third Ohio National Guard. The regiment was mustered in May 6, 1864, and mustered out August 20, 1864. After muster-in, the regiment was ordered 390 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO to Parkersburg, W. Va., on June 7 it proceeded to Washing- ton, D. C, from which place it proceeded to Bermuda Hundred, where it arrived June 12 and was assigned to the First Brigade, First Division, Tenth Army Corps. On the i6th of June, the First Division was ordered to destroy the Richmond and Peters- burg Railroad, in order to prevent the enemy from sending re- enforcements. This regiment was assigned to the support of a battery which opened a furious cannonade while the railroad track was destroyed for four miles. The regiment also did effective work at Fort Powhatan ; although it never was engaged in any extended military operations, its record for faithful ser- vice is good. In this volume, the writer gives his personal notes and ex- periences of camp life and regimental service. The appendix contains the roster of the regiment and the roll of honor containing the list of those lost during service. [760] Sherman (W. T.) Memoirs of General William T. Sherman. By him- self.

His father died when he was about nine years old, and he was brought up in the family of Hon. Thomas Ewing, through whose influence young Sherman was appointed a cadet at West Point. He graduated in July, 1840, and was appointed 2nd Lieutenant in the Third Artillery and ist Lieu- tenant in 1841. He resigned from the army September 6, 1853, and was engaged in private pursuits until May, 1861, when he was appointed Colonel of the Thirteenth Regular Infantry. He took an honorable part in the battle of Bull Run. On the 3rd of August, 1 861, he was commissioned Brigadier General of Volun- teers. At the hard fought two days' battle of Shiloh, he was wounded, and General Grant said of General Sherman: "To his individual efTorts I am indebted for the success of that battle". He was commissioned Major General of Volunteers May I, 1862. He distinguished himself at Vicksburg, Chat- tanooga, and by his famous march to the sea as one of the great generals of modern times. When General Grant was elected President, General Sherman succeeded to the command of General of the armies of the United States. He died in New York, February 14, 1891. SHERMAN LETTERS (tHe) 3M. In these memoirs, General Sherman has given an interesting record of his Hfe, principally relating to his military career. When first published, they were the subject of much criticism and controversy, but they stood all attacks and their historical value and accuracy is now acknowledged. [761] Sherman Letters (The).

The letters relating to the Civil War (pp. 76-274) form an instructive and valuable historical contribution to the literature of the Rebellion. The correspondence of these two eminent Ohioans is frank and expressive as to the sentiments of both on the stirring events of that period. Commencing in October, 1859, General Sherman gives his brother a view of Southern conditions and purposes as he observes them in Louisiana, while superintendent of a military school in that state. From thence forward, follow elaborate letters until the close of the war. Senator Sherman writes concerning politics in Ohio and Wash- ington. The views of each on secession and the movements in the field, are written with great frankness and detail. [762] Sherwood (Kate Brownlee) Camp-Fire, Memorial Day and Other Poems.

General Sherwood discusses the influence of patriotic song writers and says that they exercise more power for patriotism on the fields of war and at the homes of the people than all other influences combined. He gives the history of the war ballads of 1861-65 both by the Union and Confederate song writers. Many of them have passed into literature as classics of the English language. In this interesting paper we have a scholarly and critical review of this branch of war literature. General Sherwood was born at Stanford, New York, August 13, 1835. He graduated at the Ohio Law College, Cleveland. Was Colonel of the One Hundred and Eleventh Ohio Volunteer In- fantry and brevetted Brigadier General for gallantry at the bat- tles of Franklin, Tennessee and Nashville. He was Secretary of State of Ohio, 1868- 1872. Served in Congress from the Toledo district, 1874-6 and 1907-9. Has been editor of various papers in Cleveland, Toledo, and Canton.

Its Great March, with Roster, Portraits, Battle Maps and Biographies. By Charles H. Smith. Major Twenty-Sev- enth Ohio Regiment, Veteran Volunteer Infantry. Cleve- land, Ohio : Press of A. J. Watt. 1909. Cloth. Large 8 vo. pp. 623. The author of this work was appointed Historian of his brigade at a reunion of the survivors held in Columbus, Sep- tember 4, 1907. During the war he had kept a memorandum 26 402 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO of events under his observation and jotted them down as they occurred. He has been assisted by the official records and by committees from the different regiments of the brigade. The result is a complete and reliable history of value to the reader and creditable to the writer. Fuller's Ohio Brigade was composed of the Twenty- Seventh, Thirty-Ninth, Forty-Third and Sixty-Third Ohio Vol- unteer Infantry Regiments. It was one of the most effective organizations that went from Ohio. The Twenty-Seventh was organized in July, 1861, at Camp Chase, Columbus, Ohio, and mustered in under Col. John W. Fuller; the Thirty-Ninth was the third regiment to enhst from Ohio for three years, its Colonel being Col. John Grossbeck; the Forty-Third was prin- cipally from central and eastern Ohio, with J. L. Kirby Smith as Colonel, and the Sixty-Third was commanded by Colonel John W. Sprague. The official list of battles in which Fuller's Ohio Brigade bore an honorable part has been compiled by the historian and it fonns a roll of brilliant and dangerous service. In the following list only the Twenty-Seventh and Thirty-Ninth Regiments of the Brigade took part in the first four engage- ments : Lexington, Mo., September 19, 1861 ; Springfield, Mo., November i, 1861 ; Blackwater, Mo., December 18, 1861 ; Little Blue River, Mo., December 21, 1861 ; New Madrid, Mo., March 3 to April 7, 1862; Tiptonville, Tenn., April 8, 1862; Island No. 10, Tenn., April 8, 1862; Fort Pillow, Tenn., April 13, 1862; Monterey, Tenn., April 29, 1862; Farmington, Miss., May 3 to 30, 1862; Siege of Corinth, Miss., May 5 to 28, 1862; luka, Miss., September 19 and 20, 1862 ; Battle of Corinth, Miss., Oc- tober 3 and 4, 1862; Parker's Cross Roads, Tenn., December 31, 1862; Tuscumbia, Ala., April 24, 1863; Town Creek, Ala., April 28, 1863; Memphis, Tenn., June 29, 1863; Decatur, Ala., March 8, 1864; Snake Creek Gap, May 9, 1864; Resaca, Ga., May 9 to 16, 1864; Ostenaula River Bridge, Ga., May 13, 1864; Dallas, Ga., May 25 to June 4 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 9 to 30, 1864; General Assault on Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 27, 1864; Capture of Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., July 3, 1864; Nickajack Creek, Ga., July 3 to 5, 1864; Ruflf's Mill, Ga., July 4, 1864; Chattahoochee River, Ga., July 5 to 10, 1864; Peach Tree Creek, Ga., July 19, 1864; Decatur, Ga., July 10 to 22, 1864; Atlanta, Ga., (Hood's first sortie) July 22, 1864; Atlanta, Ga., (Ezra Church) July 28, 1864; Jonesboro, West Point and Lovejoy Station, Ga., August 26 to September 8, 1864; Hood's Northward Movement, October 3 to November i, 1864; Allatoona, Ga., October 4, 1864; Siege of Savannah, Ga., Decem- ber 10 to 21, 1864 ; Altomah River Raid, December 16, 1864 ; Beau- fort, S.

In the fall of 1858 John W. Fuller removed to Toledo, Ohio, and engaged in the publishing business. When the Rebellion commenced, he im- mediately entered the service of the state, having acquired mili- tary knowledge while a resident of Utica, New York. General Charles W. Hill, Governor Tod's Adjutant General, appointed him his chief of staff. He served in Western Virginia in the early part of the war and afterwards as Colonel of the Twenty- Seventh Ohio. For his brilliant service in the subsequent years of his service he was promoted to Brigadier General and after- wards was brevetted, Major General. He died at Toledo, March 12, 1891. [776] Smith (T. O. H.) Address at the Dedication of the Washington County Soldiers' Monument, at Marietta, Ohio, September 17, 1875. By Gen. T. C. H, Smith. Cincinnati : Robert Clarke & Co., Printers. 1875. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 22. This address has for its subject, the services of the Wash- ington County soldiers in the Civil War. Over four thousand men, including recruitments were furnished by this coimty for the National cause and they were found to be, according to Gen- eral Smith, in the following Ohio Regiments: The majority of the Seventy-Seventh, over a third of the Thirty-Sixth and Ninety-Second, and two companies each in the Thirty-Ninth and Sixty-Third ; one company each in the First, Seventh and Ninth Cavalry ; also the Huntington's and DeBeck's Batteries. A large number of Washington county citizens crossed the Ohio River, and joining with Virginians, formed the Second Virginia Cav- alry and Buell's Battery. Many enlisted in adjoining districts in the Fifty-Third, Seventy-Eighth and One Hundred and Four- teenth Regiments, and in the United States colored Troops. Of the National Guards, or Hundred Days' Men, seven companies were furnished the One Hundred and Forty-Eighth Regiment. In his address General Smith narrates the services and fortunes 404 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO of all of these regiments during the war ; it is a valuable contribu- tion to the military literature of Ohio. [777] Smyth (Anson) The Influence of the War upon our Schools. (In Eighth Annual Report of the State Commissioner of Common Schools to the Governor of the State of Ohio for the year ending August 31, 1861. Columbus: Richard Nevins, State Printer. 1862.) The eiTect of the civil war upon the schools of Ohio is fully- set forth in this report. The Commissioner, after communica- tion (see pp. 7-20) with the counties of the state, finds the con- dition of national affairs has not diminished the interest in edu- cational affairs, and beyond the reduction of the tax levies and the pay of teachers in a few counties, the schools maintained their accustomed prosperity. He notes the increasing patriotic impulses among the pupils, and an increase in the spirit of obedi- ence. The appendices of the report contain numerous letters (Appendix A) from school Superintendents giving the infor- mation on which the Commissioner bases the statements of his report. There are also letters (Appendix B) from the State Superintendents of schools of fourteen states in response to Mr. Smyth's inquiry as to how the schools in their respective states have been effected by the war. In every instance, except Ken- tucky, there has been no interruption of progress. Appendix C contains letters on "Military Instruction in Schools," from prom- inent educators in Ohio and elsewhere in response to the Ohio Commissioner's inquiry on the advisability of introducing mili- tary education into the schools. The general opinion expressed is that such a study should be confined to military schools. [778] Smyth (Anson) Teachers in the Army. (In Ninth Annual Report of the State Commissioner of Common Schools to the Gov- ernor of the State of Ohio for the year ending August 31, 1862. Columbus: Richard Nevins, State Printer. 1863.) The Commissioner devotes considerable space to the school teacher in the army, and estimates that fully five thousand are at the front. Among the most prominent teachers and profes- sors he mentions the following: Major Generals O. M. Mitchel SPALDING (RUFUS P.) 405 and J. D. Cox, Brigadier Generals Jacob Ammen and J. A. Gar- field, Colonels Lorin Andrews, E. B. Andrews, M. D. Leggett, Lieutenant Colonels W. H. Young, Z. M. Chandler, T. F. Wildes, Majors John McClenehan, D. F. DeWolf and M. W. Smith. It is noted in the report that the colleges of the state have been materially effected by the war. Ohio Wesleyan, Ohio, Antioch, Oberlin, Marietta, Kenyon, Western Reserve and Miami Colleges all report decreased attendance, and many of their students in the army. [779] Spalding (Rupus P.)

Mr. Spalding said his Ohio constituents were in favor of the following: qualified suffrage for the District of Columbia freedmen; amendment of the Constitution in respect to appor- tionment of Representatives — colored people not to be counted except where permitted to vote ; amendment against "nullifica- tion" and "secession"; amendment prohibiting the repudiation of the National, and the assumption of the Rebel debt; amend- ment forever prohibiting persons who have taken up arms against the Government from admission to either branch of Congress.

The appendix contains twelve full pages of matter explana- tory of some of the speaker's statements. Three other pages are devoted to correspondence relative to its publication, and to the President's Proclamation. The reverend gentleman asserted that the clergy and church were largely responsible for leading in the Southern Rebellion, which was one great cause of humilia- tion. Another was the conduct of Federal officials, including the STATE, ETC. 407 President and most of his Cabinet, in 1860-61. In this crisis he deemed it the duty of every American to aid the present Fed- eral Government in "putting down this unwarranted rebellion by all the power of his manhood — by his purse, his prayers and his sword." [784] State Convention of War Democrats. Address to the Democrats of Ohio. (Columbus: n. p. 1863.) Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 4. This is an address of the war Democrats of Ohio, issued from a convention held September 22, 1863, expressing their views on the condition of the country. Barnabas Burns of Mansfield was chairman. They declare themselves as devoted to the Union, and while not approving what they called "the mis- takes and errors of the Administration in the prosecution of the war," they protest against the attitude of the Democratic party in nominating and supporting C. L. Vallandigham for Governor of Ohio. In a series of resolutions they denounce secession, favor a vigorous prosecution of the war for the Union, urge the support of all laws for that purpose, express gratitude to the soldiers in the field and pledge them support and encouragement.

Stevenson, Chaplain of the Regiment. Sold only by sub- scription. Zanesville, Ohio: Published by Hugh Dunne, N. Fourth street, adjoining the Court House. 1865. Cloth. 8 vo. pp. 351. One of the best' of the earliest regimental histories. It was written just after the mustering out of that organization. Every phase of the experiences, incident to the life of the regiment is recorded in an interesting and comprehensive narrative. Much of the material was prepared on the actual scenes of battle, sieges or march and it possesses the merit of being first hand in its observations. The Seventy-Eighth Ohio Volunteer Infantry was raised under special authority from Governor Dennison, issued to M. D. Leggett, of Zanesville, who became its Colonel and was after- wards promoted to Brigadier General. The mustering was com- pleted January 11, 1862, and in thirty days the regiment left for the front. During its three years' service, it was engaged at Shiloh, Tenn., April 6-7, 1862; Bolivar, Tenn., August 30, 1862; Raymond, Miss., May 12, 1863 ; Champion Hills. Miss. May 16, 1863; Siege of Vicksburg, Miss., May 18 to July 4, 1863; Can- ton, Miss., February 26, 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 9-30, 1864; Atlanta, Ga., July 22, 1864; Siege of Atlanta, Ga., July 28 to September 2, 1864; Lovejoy Station, Ga., Septem- ber 2-6, 1864, and Bentonville, N. C, March 19-21, 1865. After the taking of Savannah and the march through the Carolinas, up to the surrender of the Confederate forces under Johnston, the regiment accompanied the National forces through Richmond to Washington City and there participated in the grand review. During its service the regiment marched three thousand two hundred and eighty-nine miles; was transported on steamboats two thousand two hundred and fourteen miles ; and on railroad one thousand si.x hundred and ninety-nine miles, making the total distance traveled during the three years, seven thousand two hundred and two miles. [787] Stewaet (Nixon B.) Dan McCook's Regiment, 52nd O. V. I. A History of the Regiment, Its Campaigns and Battles. From 1862 to 1865. By Rev. Nixon B. Stewart, Sergt. Co. E., 52nd O. V. I. Published by the Author. 1900. Cloth. 12 mo. pp. 225, with Portraits, also Full Page Portrait of Colonel Dan. McCook. STEWART (NIXON B.) 409 The writer gives the history of his regiment from Camp Dennison to the Grand Review in graphic style. It is emphat- ically a picture of war from the personal view-point of a private soldier. He tells what he saw and describes a battle by noting when and how his comrades fell about him. At Kenesaw Mountain, the regiment helped to make history, and this is the writer's description of his surroundings in that murderous as- sault: "The beautiful morning was half gone when we were told that all things were ready. The hostile army grimly waited for our coming as slowly we marched into the jaws of death. Just as the batteries ceased firing, we dressed our lines into column and Col. Dan McCook standing in front of the brigade repeated from Macaulay's 'Horatius' the words : 'Then out spoke brave Horatius, The Captain of the gate; 'To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late. 'And how can man die better, Than facing fearful odds, 'For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his gods ?' " "It was fifty paces from McCook's to Morgan's line. We moved promptly on signal going at quick time, then double quick, on coming to the creek, which was marshy and sluggish, our lines were somewhat broken. Firing began immediately. From the crest both musketry and artillery, but we pushed on cap- turing the line of rifle pits, taking the men prisoners. The bat- teries opened right and left as we pushed on up the hill. It is dreadful to think about. Grape and cannister shot and shell sowed the ground with rugged iron and garnished it with dead. The first to fall was Sergeant John T. Fowler, of Co. B. As he fell, his tongue protruded from his mouth, caused by a contrac- tion of the muscles of the throat.

Four color bearers were either killed or wounded. * * * * Sheets of flame baptize us. Plunging shot tear away comrades on left and right. It is no longer shoulder to shoulder, it is God for us all. We are facing the steady fire of two thousand in- fantry, pouring down upon our heads as if it were the old his- toric curse from heaven. We wrestled with the mountain, but our brave men are climbing steadily on — upward still. Things are growing desperate. The enemy began to throw stones upon our heads. They light the fuse and throw hand grenades in our faces. Our brave Dan McCook was in the lead when our first line had reached the fortifications, only to find a barrier, which 410 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO was calculated to make a weak man falter and a brave man think * * * * Qyj. brave Colonel urging his men on, was struck as he said, 'Come on boys, the day is won,' as he reached the earthwork. He was shot four inches below the collar bon* in the right breast, falling outside of the fortifications. After the fall of Col. McCook, the voice of Captain Charles Fellows, of McCook's staff, was heard, but his half-finished 'come on boys — we'll take' — was cut short and brave Charley fell dead only a few feet from the ditch." Colonel Daniel McCook, Jr., of this regiment, was one of the celebrated Ohio family, known as the "Fighting McCooks," which added lustre to the fame of their state in the war of the Rebellion. He raised the Fifty-Second Ohio under a commission from Governor Tod in August, 1862, when it was mustered in at Camp Dennison. It saw active service on many a field and en- gaged in the following battles: Chickamauga, Ga., Sept. 19-20, 1863 ; Resaca, Ga., May 13-16, 1864; Dallas, Ga., May 25 to June 4, 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 9-30, 1864; General As- sault on Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 27, 1864; Peach Tree Creek, Ga., June 19-20, 1864; Siege of Atlanta, Ga., July 28 to September 2, 1864; Jonesboro, Ga., August 31 to September i, 1864; Averysboro, N.

This regiment was organized May 9, 1864, by consolidating the Twenty-Third Battalion of the Ohio National Guard and the Sixtieth Regiment Ohio National Guard to serve one hundred days. On the 12th of May, 1864, the regiment was ordered to New Creek, W. Va., where it arrived on the evening of the 14th. The organization did effective duty in West Virginia, per- forming guard, picket and escort duty. It was mustered out September i, 1864.

Cover title, "Executive Documents." In 1861 the military organization of Ohio was merely nominal. The Surgeon General was a member of the Governor's Staflf. The reports of the Medical Department for the first year were filed but not pub- lished. In January, 1862 Hon. David Tod succeeded Governor Dennison as Chief Executive, and following the plan inaugurated by his predecessor, he organized the Medical Bureau of the State by commissioning Gustav C. E. Weber, M. D., of Cleveland, Surgeon General. During the year, owing to growing demands, there was great activity in the medico-military service of the State. The Legislature authorized the Governor to appoint fifty additional Assistant Surgeons for Ohio regiments. In conse- quence of ill health Dr. Weber was unable to complete his report, but the papers and correspondence herein printed give a full idea of the medical work for the year. Report by Gustav C. E. Weber, Surgeon General.

Part II. Columbus : Richard Nevins, State Printer. 1864. Pages 765-798.) Cover title, "Executive Documents." Reports are on the following subjects: State volunteer medical and surgical service; Examinations of medical officers; Apportionment and resigna- tions of medical officers ; Deaths and Miscellaneous. The fol- lowing extract from the report is indicative of the work per- formed by this department : "The records of Ohio for the past two years, bear ample testimony to the generous part she has borne in this work. In 1862 her eleven hospital boats, chartered and equipped at the expense of the State, supplied by abundant 412 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO sanitary and medical stores, manned by large and capable corps of volunteer surgeons and nurses, visited Fort Donaldson, Nash- ville, Pittsburg Landing, St. Louis, and all the intervening points, ministering to the pressing demands of every post of the liberal contributions of her citizens, and brought back to our own and other States, more than three thousand sick and wounded. The present year opened with a call for volunteers to hasten to Southern Tennessee, to bear aid and comfort to the wounded on the great battle-field of Stone River. From past experience it was found that largely increased benefits might result from extending the time of this volunteer service, so as to cover all the urgent wants that follow a battle. Accordingly, none were accepted for this expedition but such as could remain for one month, if needed so long. Even with this condition, a liberal supply was proffered. Although attended with some increase of expenditure, the solid good accomplished was largely com- pensating. On the 6th of January, about forty surgeons and nurses joined me at Louisville. Upon application to Gen. Boyle, and presenting letters of introduction, we were furnished trans- portation to Nashville, where we arrived on the 8th, being de- tained on the way by interruptions in the railroad. Upon re- porting to Surgeon Thurston, U. S. Vols., Acting Medical Direc- tor of the Department of the Cumberland, a large majority of our surgeons and nurses were assigned to duty in the Nashville hospitals, which were being rapidly filled up with wounded from the late battle-field. The remainder accompanied me to Mur- freesboro', where we were cordially received by General Rose- crans. We spent some days in visiting the hospitals and camps in the town and neighborhood, and more especially ascertaining the condition of the sick and wounded of our own regiments. The gratitude of these brave men, in the midst of privations and suf- fering, for this interest manifested by their State for their wel- fare, attested its moral value, and fully compensated for all its cost."

This is the only Ohio regimental history written in the Ger- man language. It is creditably written, and furnishes the his- torical narrative of the Ninth Ohio Volunteer Infantry in a complete and interesting volume. This regiment was typical of the fidelity of the Germans to the Union, for it was composed of that nationality and was mus- tered into the service as the first three years' organization from Ohio. Robert L. McCook, one of the "Fighting McCooks". was commissioned as Colonel of this regiment, which in its ser- vice was engaged as follows : Rich Mountain, W.

In this address Judge Taft reviews the perilous political con- dition of the country and condemns the position assumed by the Southern States. He outlines the duties of American citizen- hood in this crisis. He analyzes and condemns the doctrine of secession, and maintains that no patriot can be neutral on the question of the enforcement of the provisions of the Constitution.

This was read before the Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion at its stated meeting at Cincinnati, Ohio, October 3, 1906. The main features of the deadly and dramatic battle of Stone River, (Murfreesboro), Tennessee, are recorded in history; see "Rosecrans, W. S." But the battles of the cavalry, the conflicts, the captures and confusion in the rear of Rosecrans' army on Wednesday, December 31, 1862, and the day of the main engage- ment were never told in their fulness and details until General Thruston narrated them. The maps showing the positions of TOD (david) 419 the two armies on Wednesday morning and evening respectively, are of great value in connection with the paper. General Gates P.

He entered the army at the beginning of the Civil War, and was a captain in the First Ohio Infantry. He won promotion for faithful and meri- torious conduct, and was brevetted brigadier-general March 12, 1865. After the war he settled in Nashville, Tennessee.

They took sworn evidence, and their report is based upon the affidavits and testimony of many witnesses. The report shows that although there was no evidence what- ever of any collusion or corruption on the part of any one, the escape could not have been made if there had been vigilance and strict discipline in the prison. The Governor in his communi- cation dated December ii, 1863, to Warden Merion, relieved him of any criminal responsibility, but he did say "that the sole reason for their escape is to be found in the misunderstanding between General Mason and yourself as to which of you should, after the third of November, be responsible for, and have care of and the inspection of the prison cells."

In a telegram to the latter dated June 22, 1863, Governor Tod takes occasion to observe: "You will have heard of my defeat in the Union Convention recently held in this city.

In dosing he says: "We have taken care of our sick and wounded soldiers and their fam- ilies with a generous hand and kind heart; we have, at our own expense, repelled raids upon our southern and eastern border, with a spirit and energy worthy of freemen; we have aided in the capture of a most formidable band of desperadoes, led by a wily, dangerous chieftain; we have provided suitable resting places for our gallant dead, and we have given conclusive evi- dence to the world in our recent elections, as well as in the gal- lant deeds of our brave men in the field, that we are determined, much as it has cost in life and in treasure, or may hereafter cost, to continue to uphold our National Government in its unity and strength, and thus transmit it to our children."

Being a history of the service of the 105th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in the War for the Union from August 21, 1862 to June 6, 1865. By Albion W. Tourgee, LL. D. Buffalo: S. McGerald and Son. 1896. Cloih. 8 vo. pp. 409 and Appendix LXIV, with Maps and Illustrations. The author has written a history of his regiment as inter- esting as a novel, and in doing so he has not sacrificed a single fact of the record. He has brought to his task the exquisite literary style that has marked his other works in another field.. The appendix contains official reports bearing on the regi- mental service, together with complete roster and tables relat- ing to regiment. The author after the war settled as a lawyer, farmer and editor at Greensboro, North Carolina. In 1868 he was elected a judge of the seventh Judicial district of that State. He was an observer and an officer in the troublous days of the Ku Klux Klan and reconstruction. He wrote a series of historical novels, illustrative of Southern conditions, which had great effect on the sentiment of the North. He is the author of "Figs and Thistles"" (1879), "A Fool's Errand, by one of the Fools", of which 135,- 000 were sold (1879); "Bricks Without Straw" (1880); "Hot Plowshares" (1883) ; "An Appeal to Caesar" (1884) ; and other works on law and finance. He died May 21, 1905. The One Hundred and Fifth Ohio Volunteer Infantry was a Western Reserve regiment, its members coming mainly from. Lake, Ashtabula, Geauga, Trumbull and Mahoning counties. It was mustered into the service August 20 and 21, 1862, for three years at Camp Taylor near Cleveland. The record of service of the regiment is given in this volume as follows: Perryville,. Ky., October 8, 1862; Milton, Tenn., March 20, 1863; Hoover's Gap, Tenn., June 24, 1862; Chickamauga, Ga., September 19-20^ 1863 ; Siege of Chattanooga, Tenn., September 23 to November 25, 1863 ; Mission Ridge, Tenn., November 25, 1863 ; Resaca,.

[830] Tracie (Theodore C.) Annals of the Nineteenth Ohio Battery Volunteer Artillery; Including an Outline of the Operations of the Second Division, Twenty-Third Army Corps; Lights and Shadows of Army Life, as Seen on the March, Bivouac and Battle-Field. By Theodore C. Tracie. Cleve- land, O. : Published for the Battery Committee by J. B. Savage. 1878. Cloth. 12 mo. pp. 470. The writer has preserved the details of the daily life of his comrades in their campaigns. He has not endeavored to record the mere historical events, but rather the experiences, grave and gay, of army life. At the same time he has omitted none of the real events of his battery in the service of the Union. The battles, campaigns, trials and victories are loyally and accurately preserved. This battery, popularly known as "Shields' Battery," was mustered into service September 10, 1862, at Camp Cleveland, Ohio, by Captain J. R. Paxton, U. S. A., to serve for three years. ■It was mustered out June 27, 1865, after faithful and arduous service. It participated in the pursuit of the Morgan Raiders; was at the Siege of Knoxville, Tenn., November 17 to Decem- ber 4, 1863; in the East Tennessee Campaign of 1863-4; at the Siege of Atlanta, Ga., July 28 to September 2, 1864, and at the battle of Nashville, Tenn., December 15 and 16, 1864. The severest and most trying experiences of this battery were in the East Tennessee campaign. The winter was unusually cold, and only by the greatest efforts were the men prevented from freezing; in addition to this, provisions were scarce be- cause it was almost impossible for the Government to send sup- plies into this bleak and almost inaccessible country. Notwith- standing these conditions, the casualties of the battery were slight, and after the period of a distressful winter, in the spring it entered the Atlanta campaign to win additional honors of war.

Speech of Hon. C. L. Vallandigham, of Ohio, delivered in the House of Representatives, February 20, 1861. Washington: Printed by Henry Polkenhorn. 1861. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 23. This is that famous speech in which Mr. Vallandigham sup- ported the proposition, embodied by him in a proposed consti- tutional amendment to divide the Union into four distinct na- tionalities or sections. See "Bingham, John A." One of his amendments (Article XVI) provided that "No State shall secede without the consent of the Legislature of the States of the section to which the State proposing to secede belongs. The President shall have power to adjust with seceding States all questions arising by reason of their secession ; but the terms of adjustment shall be submitted to the Congress for their ap- proval before the same shall be valid". The appendix to this speech contains the proposed amendments in full. Mr. Val- landigham claimed in his speech that his purpose was to save the Union, but his plan was essentially destructive of national unity and contained the seeds of the death of the American Republic. Like all of his speeches, it is bold in expression and clear in diction. Clement L. Vallandigham was born at New Lisbon, Ohio, July 29, 1820. Received an academic education and was ad- mitted to the bar in 1842. In 1845-6 he was a member of the Ohio Legislature and from 1847 until 1849 he edited the Dayton "Empire". He was a radical believer in the state-rights branch (432) VALLANDIGHAM (CLEMENT L.) 433 of the Democratic party. In 1857 he was a candidate for Con- gress against Lewis D. Campbell, was declared defeated, but was seated on a contest. He served from May 25, 1858, until March 3, 1863. He opposed the war, the administration and attacked its policy in and out of Congress. When he retired from Congress he returned to Ohio and attacked the Lincoln administration with great violence and bitterness. General Am- brose E. Burnside, the commander of the Department of the Ohio, arrested him for giving aid and comfort to the enemy, by reason of his speeches. He was tried by court-martial and con- victed and sentenced to imprisonment during the war. See "Vallandigham, Clement L. The Trial of". President Lincoln was appealed to by various committees on the subject to release him, see "Lincoln, Abraham", but without effect. The sentence was changed to banishment across the lines. The leaders of the Confederacy did not give Mr. Vallandigham a cordial reception and he ran the blockade by sea to Canada. While thus exiled, he was nominated for Governor of Ohio by the Democratic party but was defeated by John Brough, a Democrat running on the Union Republican ticket, by a majority of over 100,000. Mr. Val- landigham returned to Ohio afterwards without objection by the Government ; he was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention that nominated General George B. McClellan in 1864 and also the National convention of 1868. He died at Lebanon, Ohio, June 17, 1871, as the result of an accidental pis- tol discharge in his own hands while illustrating his theory of how a certain homicide occurred in which he was defending the accused. [834] Vallandigham (Clement L.) "After Some Time be Past". Speech of Hon. C. L. Vallandigham of Ohio, on Executive Usurpation, in the House of Representatives, July 10, 1861. Washington, D. C. n. p. 1861. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 8. This speech was delivered soon after the opening of the extra session called by President Lincoln which convened July 4, 1861. Its bold antagonism to the position of Mr. Lincoln and his administration almost dazed the Union sentiment of the North. Without sympathy upon his own side (the Democratic) of the House, and an overwhelming National spirit upon the Republican side, this speech was indicative of great courage on the part of its author. It at once created a deep feeling against 28 434 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO Mr. Vallandigham throughout the North and he took his position as an opponent of the Lincoln administration and a friend to the South, which attitude he maintained througliout the war. This speech was widely circulated in England and on the Continent. [835] Vallandigham (Clement L.) Keply of Hon. Clement L.

Mr. Hickman offered a resolution instructing the Commit- tee on the Judiciary to inquire into the truth of certain charges of disloyalty made in a Baltimore newspaper against Mr. Val- landigham, and in this speech the latter defends himself and his party. Mr. Hickman withdrew his resolution after this speech. [836] Vallandigham (Clement Laird) The Great Civil War in America. Speech of Hon. Clement Laird Vallandigham, of Ohio, in the House of Representatives, January 14, 1863. Washington : n. p. 1863. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 16. This is a pessimistic philippic against the prosecution of the War and a severe indictment against Mr. Lincoln and his administration for their part in its conduct. Its practical effect was to aid secession and encourage the Rebellion, although Mr. Vallandigham claimed that he was for the Union through peace. His position was declared boldly as against the War. Said he, "You can never subdue the seceded States. Two years of fearful experience have taught you that. Why carry on this War? If you persist, it can only end in final separation between the North and South. And, in that case, believe it now, as you did not my former warnings, the whole Northwest will go with the South !" He argues for peace either by foreign intervention or domestic agreement, and contending that slavery must be recognized in any peace settlement. "In my deliberate judg- VALLANDIGHAM (CLEMENT L.) 435 ment," he declares, "African slavery, as an institution, will come out of this conflict fifty-fold stronger than when it was begun." This speech had a great influence in the North in increasing the power and position of the peace party, and in embarrassing the Union cause. By the friends of the Union throughout the country it was regarded "as words of brilliant and polished treason." [837] VALLANDIGHAM (CLEMENT L.)

In this work is published Mr. Vallandigham's speeches on the Constitution, The Union and The Civil War. It is offered as an admiring tribute from his friends who recognized him as a patriot. The speeches are intensely radical, abusive of the government, and bitterly antagonistic to the war. It was issued during the exciting campaign of 1863 when the subject was a candidate for Governor and had a wide circulation among his admirers. [840] Vallandigham (Clement L.) The Trial of Hon.

[842] VALLANDIGHAM (CLEMENT L.) The Vallandigham Song Book. Songs for the Trmes. Columbus : J. Walter & Co. 1863. Pamphlet. 16 mo. pp. 24. This publication, now extremely rare, there being but very few copies in existence, was circulated widely during the Brough- Vallandigham campaign of 1863. Concerning it the publishers state: "Most of these songs have already been printed in the Democratic newspapers, and some of them have had a wide cir- culation. Several of the best have made their first appearance in the 'Cincinnati Enquirer' and the 'Logan Gazette.' But we have taken it for granted that the writers would, in every case, contribute the merit of authorship to the greater merit of the cause we are mutually serving ; hence we have made no effort to learn the names of the writers, nor have we retained them when known." The songs herein contained are grave, sentimental, comical, and satirical. Its contents illustrate the earnestness and bitter- ness of an exciting canvass. They represent an intense antag- onism to Mr. Lincoln, and the prosecution of the War. The fol- lowing is a specimen of the sentiments expressed : COMING. Air — "IVe Come with Songs to Greet You." We are coming, Abraham Lincoln, From mountain, wood and glen ; We are coming, Abraham Lincoln, With the ghosts of murdered men. Yes ! We're coming, Abraham Lincoln, With curses loud and deep, That will haunt you in your waking. And disturb you in your sleep. There's blood upon your garments, There's guilt upon your soul. For the hist of ruthless soldiers You let loose without control ; Your dark and wicked doings A God of mercy sees, And the wail of homeless children Is heard on every breeze. 438 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO There's sadness in our dwellings, And the cry of wild despair, From broken hearts and ruined homes, Breaks on the midnight air; While Sorrow spreads her funeral pall O'er this once happy land ; For brother meets in deadly strife, A brother's battle brand. With desolation all around, Our dead lie on the plains ; You're coming, Abraham Lincoln, With manacles and chains, To subjugate the white man And let the negro free — By the blood of all these murdered men This curse can never be ! You may call your black battalions To aid your sinking cause. And substitute your vulgar jokes For liberty and laws. No ! by the memory of our fathers. By those green unnumbered graves. We'll perish on ten thousand fields Ere we become your slaves ! [843] Vallandigham (Clement L.) Speeches, Arguments, Addresses and Letters of Clem- ent L. Vallandigham. New York : Published by J.

They are marked by elegant dic- tation, positive expression and argumentative force. His war- time speeches are extraordinary examples of bitter denunciation, and upon reading them, we can see how they had the effect of creating opposition to the war and the National administration. The biographical memoir prefixed was prepared by Mr. Vallandigham's brother. [844] [Vallandigham (James L.)] Biographical Memoir of Clement L. Vallandigham. By his brother. New York: Published by J.

A very complete biography written from the affectionate and admiring standpoint of a brother, but nevertheless valuable and attractive. Vallandigham, the man, is placed before the reader and we have an opportunity to see him in youth and manhood from his personal side. It is also a history of the times in which he moved and acted. His personality as dis- closed in these pages shows him to have been sincere, courageous and willing to maintain his position at any cost. The work justifies Vallandigham in his position during the war and de- fends him against the charge of disloyalty. 440 civil. WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO r, [847] Van Dyke (A. M.)

The writer of this valuable and important contribution to the military history of the Nation was the Chaplain of the Thir- teenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry from July 10, 1862 until mus- tered out October 14, 1864. He was chaplain in the regular army at various army posts until July, 1870; was retired Febru- ary 26, 1885, and died April 5, 1895. He enjoyed rare ad- vantages in the preparation of the work. It was undertaken at the special request of General Thomas, who supplied the ma- VETERAN (the) 441 terials for publication, which, as the writer states in his preface "gave him as close a relation to it as was possible without direct authorship." The Military Journal of General Thomas, which preserved an accurate record of the operations of each day, is the basis of these volumes. In addition he placed in the hands of the author copies of orders, telegrams, official reports and other papers, unofficial but equally authoritative as the muniments of a truthful narrative. The maps which illustrate the history were executed at General Thomas' request, by authority of the War Department. A short introduction to the first volume treats of the causes of the war, and an appendix to the second volume contains a list of the officers in the Army of the Cumberland who were killed in action, or who died of wounds or disease during the progress of the war.

The expression "Copperhead" was applied in 1862 and during the war to those members of the Democratic party in the Northern States who violently opposed the suppression of the rebellion and who claimed that it was hopeless and illegal to coerce the seceding states. [852] ADE (Ben J. F.) Property in the Territories. Speech of Hon. Benj. F. Wade, of Ohio. Delivered in the Senate of the United States, March 7, 1860. Washington, D. C. : Buell & Blanch- ard. Printers. 1860. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 14. The speeches of Senator Wade on Slavery, Secession, War and Reconstruction represent in the best form the radical liter- ature of the time. He was an abolitionist of the most pronounced type and his expressions were uncompromising and in the strong- est Anglo-Saxon. He was always in advance of his party and to him more than any other Ohioan in Congress may be credited the firm stand taken by the Republican party during the war. That he went to extremes, and that Mr. Lincoln and the con- servative Union element often refused to follow him is also true. In this speech Mr. Wade discusses slavery in the territories and the Fugitive Slave Law. The position of the Republican party is here fully set forth, and to the student no better state- ment can be given. Benjamin F. Wade was born in Feeding Hills parish, Mas- sachusetts, October 27, 1800. He died at Jefferson, Ohio, March 2, 1878. He was a State Senator of Ohio, a United States Sen- ator, President pro tem of the Senate, and acting Vice-President. In 1 85 1 he was elected to the United States Senate from Ohio, re- elected in 1856 and in 1862. He was one of the most radical and influential anti-slavery men of his time and during the Re- bellion one of the most pronounced advocates of the Union cause (443) 444 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO in Congress. He took a conspicuous part in the great debates' on slavery, the wfar, and reconstruction, and was the recognized leader of the Republican party in the Senate. As chairman of the Committee on the Conduct of the War, he rendered his coun- try invaluable service and exercised a tremendous influence in military operations. His bitter and advanced views often brought him in conflict with President Lincoln, nevertheless he was one of the imposing and era-making characters of the Civil War period. [853] Wadh (B. F.)

During the agitated and distracted condition of the country, viz., between Mr. Lincoln's election and inauguration, this speech was delivered. It is a bold defense of the Union and an attack on the Southern leaders for their steps towards the dissolution. One by one he answers the pretexts offered by the South to justify secession. While it is aggressive, it is temperate and conciliatory — more so than his speeches generally. [854] Wadh (B. F.) Traitors and their Sympathizers. Speech of Hon. B. F.

A reply to Senator McDougall, of California, and a severe arraignment of the anti-administration party in Congress and the country.

This report was submitted by Senator Wade as chairman of the joint committee "on the conduct of the present war." It charges barbarous treatment by the Confederates at Manassas, of the remains of officers and soldiers of the United States killed in battle there. It submits the testimony of a number of witnesses.

Contains a reprint of the report from the Cincinnati Ga- zette of October 24, 1864, of a speech delivered in Mozart Hall, Cincinnati. In his address Senator Wade details his personal observations at the front of General McClellan's conduct of the war, and how he urged the General to engage the defiant Con- federate forces in conflict; also his report in person to President Lincoln of the situation. The other contents of the pamphlet are McClellan's Gunboat Experience, General Kearny on McClellan; Testimony of Major General Joseph Hooker to the Committee on the Conduct of the War, and of General Heintzel- man, published in the reports of the same committee.

Wade, of Ohio, in the Senate of the United States, January 18, 1866. Washington: n. p. 1866. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 8. Senator Wade represented more distinctively than any of his contemporaries of war time the radical Union and anti-slav- 446 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO ery sentiment of his party. He carried his positive views into the reconstruction period. In this speech he disagrees with the post-war poHcy of the late President Lincoln as well as that of President Johnson. Afterwards he became one of the bitterest opponents and prosecutors of the latter. He favors in this ut- terance the most radical and drastic treatment of the Southern States. A study of Senator Wade's writings and speeches at this time is necessary to a proper understanding of the great conflict in Congress during the reconstruction period. [858] Waddle (Angus L.)

The subject matter of this pamphlet was originally published in the "Ohio Soldier" a periodical published at Chillicothe, Ohio. It is practically a history of the Thirty-Third Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The battles, marches and campaigns of the regiment, together with the personal observations and experiences of the writer are narrated in good literary style. It is above the average of regimental histories. This regiment was organized at Camp Morrow, Ports- mouth, Ohio, from August 27 to October 11, 1861, to serve three years. It took an honorable part in the following battles: Perryville, Ky., October 8, 1862; Chickamauga, Ga., Septem- ber 19-20, 1863; Lookout Mountain, Tenn., November 24, 1863; Mission Ridge, Tenn., November 25, 1863; Resaca, Ga., May 13-16, 1864; Cassville, Ga., May 19-22, 1864; Kenesaw Moun- tain, Ga., June 9-30, 1864; Peach Tree Creek, Ga., July 20, 1864; Jonesboro, Ga., August 31 and September i, 1864; Siege of Atlanta Ga., July 28 to September 2, 1864; Averysboro, N.

Published for private circulation by Theo- dore Mullen, Marysville, Ohio, late Corporal Co. B, Sixty- First, O. V. I. Pamphlet, iz mo. pp. 37. The Sixty-First Ohio Volunteer Infantry was organized from the State at large in April and May, 1862, to serve three years. It was consolidated with the Eighty-Second Regiment March 31, 1865. This historical sketch was read at the annual re- union of the regiment at Cleveland, Ohio, September 12, 1901 ; it deals only with the actual narrative of the regiment's service and is strictly a regimental history. Though brief it is full and re- liable. The Sixty-First was engaged in the following battles and campaigns : Freeman's Ford, Va., August 23-25, 1862 ; Second Battle of Bull Run, August 30, 1862; Chancellorsville, Va., May 1-4, 1863; Gettysburg, Pa., July 2-4, 1863; Wauhatchie, Tenn., October 27, 1863; Lookout Valley, Tenn., October 28, 1863; Lookout Mountain, Tenn., November 24, 1863; Mission Ridge, Tenn., November 25, 1863; Resaca, Ga., May 13-16, 1864; Dal- las, Ga., May 25 to June 4, 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 19-27, 1864; Peach Tree Creek, Ga., July 20, 1864; Atlanta, Ga., July 22-28 and September 2, 1864, and Sherman's March to the Sea.

In this volume may be found the expressions relating to questions of the War of one of the most influential of Ohio Union Democrats. They are: (i) "Objects of the War for the Union," address to the people May 23, 1861. (2) "Letter to a Union Meeting" at Hamilton, Ohio, April 12, 1863.

Slavery and Reconstruction. A tone of high patriotism pervades his expressions. Durbin Ward was born in Augusta, Kentucky. February 11, 448 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO 1819. He entered Miami University at the age of nineteeri', re- maining two years, studied law with Thomas Corwin, was ad- mitted to the bar in 1842, and became his partner. From 1845 to 1851 he was prosecuting attorney of Warren County, Ohio. He was elected to the Legislature in 1851, became prominent in the Democratic party, and in i860 he was a member of the Demo- cratic National Convention that met at Charleston, S. C, and re- assembled at Baltimore, Md. He supported the candidacy of Stephen A. Douglas. When the Civil War broke out, he de- clared himself for the Union and enlisted as a private. Served under General McClellan in West Virginia. Was appointed major of the Seventeenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, August 17, 1861, and lieutenant colonel December 31. 1862. Was wounded at Chickamauga and made colonel of his regiment November 13, 1863. He was brevetted brigadier general October 18, 1865. After the war he maintained his standing as a Democrat of great influence, patriotism and integrity. He died May 22, 1886. [861] Wabd (J. E. D.) Twelfth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. By J. E. D. Ward, Ripley, Ohio: 1864. Cloth. 8 vo. pp. 84. This little volume is interesting not only for what it records, but also because it is the first Ohio regimental history published in permanent form. It necessarily, for that reason, lacks the official information and complete knowledge so important in works of this kind. It was issued shortly after the mustering out of the regiment. The writer divides his history into periods of four campaigns and records his personal views and the move- ments of the regiment in those sub-divisions. This regiment was organized at Camp Dennison from June 19 to June 29, 1861, to serve three years. It was mustered out July II, 1864, by reason of expiration of service. Its record shows that it moved on foot, rail and water a distance of four thousand and forty-nine miles and sustained a loss in killed, wounded and missing of four hundred and fifty-five men. It was engaged at Scary Creek, W. Va., July 17, 1861 ; Gauley Bridge, W. Va., August 25, 1861 ; Carnifex Ferry, W.

An Account of the Private Life and Public Services of Salmon Portland Chase. By Robert B. Warden. Cin- cinnati : Wilstach, Baldwin and Co. 1874. Cloth. 8 vo. pp. XLVI and 342, with Steel Portrait of Mr. Chase. This is the greatest repository of facts concerning Salmon P. Chase and of his correspondence, both public and private, throughout his Hfe. The work as a literary monument to the writer or his subject cannot be praised. The author was for a time the private secretary of Mr. Chase and had recourse to all his papers, official and personal, and he has used them liber- ally. He injects his own personality too much into the work. Of Cincinnati, particularly, and of Ohio at large, the volume naturally takes large notice. The letters of Mr. Chase throw a great light on slavery and the war and are the most valuable compositions in the work. Robert B. Warden was bom in Bardstown, Ky., January 18, 1824. He was admitted to the bar in 1845; became judge of the court of common pleas at Cincinnati in 1850. In 1853 he was appointed Rep)orter of the Supreme Court of Ohio. On De- cember 9, 1854, Governor Medill appointed him a member of the court for which he had been selected as reporter a year before. He was only thirty years of age at this time — the young- est judge that ever acted in the Supreme Court. He was a man of more literary than legal ability and wrote much. He died in Washington in 1884. [863] Weist (J. R.) "The Medical Department in the War."

In the beginning the facilities for hospital and surgical service were crude and inadequate.

WHITING (WILLIAM) 453 Contains the full reports of two important Ohio cases aris- ing out of the exercise of the extraordinary powers of the Presi- dent of the United States during the Rebellion. The first is that of John W. Kees vs. David Tod (Governor of Ohio) and others in the Pickaway County Common Pleas on a petition of defendants to remove the case for trial to the United States Circuit Court. The plaintiff was arrested by the follow- ing order of the War Department, issued June 27, 1862 : "Sir : — Proceed with one assistant by first train to Circle- ville in the State of Ohio, arrest there or wherever else he may be found John W. Kees, editor and publisher of the 'Circleville Watchman', and deliver him to the commandant, at Camp Chase, permitting no communication with him, except by yourself and your subordinates charged with his safekeeping, and if you think fit by his family in your presence. Examine all papers, private or otherwise, found at the office of this paper, the resi- dence of Kees, or on his person and bring with you to the de- partment all that may be found of a treasonable or suspicious nature, as well as a copy of each issue of the 'Watchman' during the last four months. Close the office, locking up the presses, type, paper and other material found therein and place in charge of a discreet and trustworthy person who will see that it is safely kept. If you think further aid will be necessary call on Gover- nor Tod at Columbus, who will be requested to give you such information and aid as you may think needful in enabling you to fulfill your duty. Let this order be executed promptly, dis- creetly and quietly ; and when executed make full report of your doings to this department. "By Order of the Secretary of War. (Signed.) "C. P. Wolcott, "Assistant Secretary of War." This order was executed and the party was confined in the "Old Capitol Prison" at Washington, D. C., for seventeen days and afterwards Kees brought suit in damages for $30,000.00 against the Governor and others who executed the order. Judge Dickey in an elaborate opinion (pp. 216-225) granted the peti- tion to remove the case to the United States Circuit Court. The case is important as showing the condition of political affairs in Ohio at this time. Kees's paper, as shown by extracts, was inflammatory against the government and treasonable in char- acter. The full report of the decision in Vallandigham's case be- fore the Supreme Court of the United States is also given. This was an ex parte application of a writ of certiorari by Clement L. Vallandigham to the Judge Advocate General of the United States. The writ was refused, the court holding that the Su- 454 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO f preme Court had no power to revise or pronounce any opinion upon the proceedings of a military commission. Mr. Justice Noah H. Swayne delivered the opinion. Both of these cases attracted great attention throughout Ohio and the country at the time and they have an important bearing on the history of that period. [872] Whittlesey (Charles) General Wallace's Division — Battle of Shiloh — Was it Tardy? By Col. Chas. Whittlesey. Cleveland, Ohio: n. p. 1875. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 8. The occasion of this pamphlet was the charges of certain newspapers, notably the National Republican, of Washington, which attacked Whitelaw Reid of the New York Tribune for his account of that battle to the Cincinnati Gazette and General Wallace for "shameful tardiness." Colonel Whittlesey writes in vindication of General Wallace, and incidentally reviews the ac- tions of portions of several regiments of Ohio troops.

Cleveland, Ohio : William W. Wil- liams. 1884. Cloth. 8 vo. pp. 89, with 5 Full Page Maps. Contains the very interesting and intelligent observations of the writer on the army movements in West Virginia and Tennessee, including the capture of Fort Donelson and the bat- tle of Shiloh ; also a description of the siege of Cincinnati, the defensive works of which, on the Kentucky side, were surveyed and located by Colonel Whittlesey. His personal sketches of Generals McPherson, Mitchel, Cox, Leggett and Force add value to his "memoranda" which of themselves are of high lit- erary character. Col. Whittlesey was born at Southington, Connecticut, Oc- tober 4, 1808. He graduated from West Point in iB.-^i, served in the Black Hawk War in 1832 and after that resigned from WILDER (JOHN T.) 455 the army. He was connected with United States Geological Survey from 1847 to 1851. He was one of the founders of the Ohio Geological Survey in 1837. On the breaking out of the Re- bellion he was made chief engineer of the Ohio troops. He was appointed Colonel in August, 1861. He led his regiment at Fort Donelson and commanded a brigade at Shiloh. His health failing he resigned in 1862 and went back to his scientific work. He has written a great deal on various subjects, his titles num- bering more than 200. He died at Cleveland, Ohio, in 1886. [874] Wilder (John T.) Preliminary Movements of the Army of the Cumber- land before the Battle of Chickamauga. By John T. Wild- er, Colonel 17th Ind. V.

V. I., by Theodore Wilder. Oberlin : J. B. T. March, Print- er, "News Office". 1866. Cloth. 16 mo. pp. 83. This company was composed almost entirely of professors and students of Oberlin College. It was the "Roundhead" com- pany of the regiment and because of the open Christian profes- sion and life of its members it was called the "praying cornpany." Its record and conduct throughout the war showed this life was a tower of strength in bearing the hardships and burdens of mili- tary service. Their health was better, they could stand longer marches, they had less sickness and recovered from wounds more quickly than those whose life led them to reckless and dis- sipated habits. Company C after a period of service won the admiration of its fellows, and ridicule was turned to respect. In the preparation of this history the author has had re- course to diaries and journals kept by the members and the 456 CIVIL WAX LITERATURE OF OHIO official returns of the commanding: officers, and is thus able to give the numerous dates and facts with a good degree of correct- ness. A biographical record of officers and men is given in the work. [876] Wildes (Thos. F.) Record of the One Hundred and Sixteenth Regiment, Ohio Infantry Volunteers in the War of the Rebellion.

A well written, comprehensive and interesting history of this regiment's service. It possesses a certainty of narrative unusual in regimental histories. The writer has depended little upon his recollections, but has relied upon official records and diaries, letters and memoranda written at the time by himself and others. To the work has been added a chapter in com- memoration of those who died in the service, as well as those who have since died from wounds received or disease contracted in the field. A complete roster of officers and men, by com- panies, giving the general military history and final record of each closes the volume. This regiment was organized at Gallipolis and Marietta in September and October, 1862, to serve for three years. It was mustered out of service June 14, 1865, after full participation in the following battles, all in the state of Virginia: Moorefield, January 3, 1863; Romney, February 16, 1863; Bunker Hill, June 13, 1863; Winchester, June 14-15, 1863; Piedmont, June 5, 1864; Lynchburg, June 17-18, 1864; Snicker's Ferry, July 18, 1864; Winchester, July 24, 1864; Halltown, August 26-27, 1864; Berryville, September 3-4, 1864; Opequon, September 19, 1864; Fisher's Hill, September 22, 1864; Cedar Creek, October 19, 1864; Fort Gregg, April 2, 1865 ; High Bridge, April 6, 1865, and Appomattox C.

He was of the heroic band more generally known as the "Andrews Raiders." In this volume he details his individual impressions, experiences and es- cape. It was originally published in an Ohio newspaper, and aft- erwards, in 1880, brought out in book form at Toledo. The author records his part in this daring enterprise with modesty, although the expedition was the most intrepid and far-reaching of the War, and has but few parallels in the history of ancient or modern warfare.

One of the most complete and elaborate regimental his- tories published. Its typography is of the best and it is profuse with maps, portraits and illustrations. The text is indicative WINDSOR (a. h.) 459 of the vast difference between the regimental history written immediately after the war and the one written at the present time. The first is generally from the personal experiences and observations of the writer, while the other is based on the of- ficial records of the War Department at Washington. In this volume the writer has given his readers history pure and simple in recording the life of the regiment and he has drawn freely on all contemporary records. In forty chapters he has narrated the organization, campaigns and battles of this organization. Biographies and portraits of members of the regiment are nu- merous ; a miscellany containin.a; a description of monuments erected to the regiment and a roster and casualty list add to its interest. The Seventh Ohio Regiment was organized at Cleveland and Camp Dennison in June, 1861, to serve three years. It was kept well at the front during most of its service and was en- gaged in most of the severely contested battles of the war. W. F. Fox in his "Regimental Losses in the Civil War" classes it with the "Three hundred fighting regiments" and says : "One of the finest regiments in the service. It was raised in Northern Ohio, with rendezvous at Cleveland and was composed of ex- ceptionally good material. Its rank included men of culture and good social position, clergymen, students, teachers, bankers, farmers and mechanics. They enlisted promptly at the first news of war, the regiment organizing in April for the three months' service, but entering the three years' service, almost to a man, when the second call for troops was made." Its service included the following battles : Cross Lanes, W. Va., August 26, 1861 ; Winchester, Va., March 23, 1862; Port Republic, Va., June 9, 1862; Cedar Mountain, Va., August 9, 1862; Antietam, Md., September 17, 1862; Dumfries, Va., De- cember 27, 1862; Chancellorsville, Va., May 1-4, 1863; Gettys- burg, Pa., July 1-3, 1863; Lookout Mountain, Tenn., November 24, 1863; Mission Ridge, Tenn., November 25, 1863; Ringgold, Ga., November 27, 1863 ; Rocky Face Ridge, Ga., May 5-9, 1864, and Resaca, Ga., May 13-16, 1864. The regiment was mustered out July 8, 1864, at Cleveland, where Governor Brough ad- dressing it said: "No regiment has returned to the bosom of the State, and none remains to come after it, that will bring back a more glorious record than the gallant old Seventh."

Cloth. 12 vo. pp. 68. 460 CIVIL WAR LITERATURE OF OHIO The Ninety-First Ohio Volunteer Infantry was raised in Southern, Ohio, from the counties of Adams, Scioto, Lawrence, GalHa, Jackson and Pike. It was mustered in at Camp Ironton, Ohio, September 7, 1862, to serve three years and was mustered out June 24, 1865. This little history written immediately at the close of the regiment's service is a very scant and general recital of its record. It contains a full roster of the members of the regiment and a list of casualties — dead, wounded and captured. This regiment saw hard service and was in the following en- gagements : Bufifalo, W.

WORTHINGTON (tHOMAS) 461 This is of no value from a historical standpoint. It is J tirade against Grant and Sherman apparently under the idea that both had a personal feeling against the writer. It does not deserve to be classed as a regimental history. It is apparent that the author has written in an erratic vein, due probably to fancied wrongs. There is a strain of egotism on nearly every page that warrants this conclusion. The author was the Colonel of this regiment. He was the son of Governor Worthington of Ohio; was born at Adena, Ross county, March i8, 1807 ; graduated from West Point in 1827. He served in the Mexican War. Died February 23, 1884. The preservation of the history of the Forty-Sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry should have fallen into more sensible hands, because it was a fine organization and has left a fine record. It was organized at Worthington, Ohio, from October 23, 1861, to January 28, 1862, to serve for three years. It valiantly per- formed its duty in the following battles: Shiloh, Tenn., April 6-7, 1862 ; Siege of Corinth, Miss., April 3, 1862 ; Siege of Vicksburg, Miss., May 18 to July 4, 1863; Jackson, Miss., July 9-16, 1863 ; Siege of Knoxville, Tenn., November 17 to Decem- ber 4, 1863; Mission Ridge, Tenn., November 25, 1863; Reseca,.

Written from the standpoint that everything pubhshed con- cerning the Battle of Shiloh is false, and that the writer alone is capable of recording the truth. This pamphlet consists of an open letter and three sections of queries, directed to General Grant, dated '"Five Oaks, near Morrow, Ohio, December 8, 1879." These questions are concerning the movements and operations of the Union army at Shiloh. From their construction, it is evident that the writer intends to reflect on the military capacity of General Grant. This pamphlet is written in the same style and strain as the other contributions of the writer to the history of the Civil War; all bearing evidences of personal grievance.

On the 9th of April, 1864, Speaker Colfax offered a resolu- tion to expel Alexander Long, a Democratic Congressman from Ohio for treasonable expressions on the floor of the House. Among the sentiments uttered were "That the alternative was now presented between subjugation and annihilation, or recog- nition". This was not approved by Mr. Long's Democratic col- leagues from Ohio and at a meeting the following Ohio congress- men protested against the doctrine of recognition of the Southern Confederacy ; viz. : Messrs. Bliss, Noble, Hutchins, Johnston, LeBlond, J. W. White, Morris, Finck, O'Neill, Cox and Mc- Kinney. Mr. Fernando Wood of New York, opposed the resolu- WOOD (GEORGE L.) 465' tion of expulsion, but did not indorse the principle of recogni- tion. The speech is a strong argument against the moral or legal right of the House to expel Mr. Long. See "Long, Alexander." [892] Wood (George L.) The Seventh Regiment : A Record. By Major George L.

I" 1857 he was appointed Public Printer at Washington by President Buchanan. At the opening of the Civil War he became colonel of the Fourth Ohio Regiment. For his gallant services at Chickamauga, as set forth in this work, he was commissioned major general. He served in the At- lanta campaign and defeated General Joseph Wheeler's cavalry in June, 1864. He was with General Thomas at Nashville while Sherman was making his march to the sea. After the war he was made collector of internal revenue at New Orleans. He afterwards became chief of jxilice of Toledo, Ohio, and editor WRIGHT (CHARLES) 467 of the "Weekly Ohio Democrat." He died at Toledo, October 18, 1883, and in 1887 a monument was erected and dedicated to his memory, as one of Ohio's most distinguished and gallant Generals.

At the breaking out of the War, Mr. Wright was Quarter- master General of the State, having been appointed by Governor Dennison. He states that he had never met Governor Tod until introduced by the latter's predecessor, and was much surprised when he was tendered a reappointment. Having accepted, he became intimately acquainted with Governor Tod. and the two co-operated in upholding President Lincoln's hands, and in sending volunteers from Ohio to the front as rapidly as they were called for. The pamphlet is devoted almost wholly to the War period and is replete with interesting incidents. [898] ouNG (Thomas L.) Oration by General Thomas L.

A patriotic address the central idea of which is that this government should always remember its soldiers in the war for the Union by liberal pensions. It contains statistics showing that the United States has been true to that idea. General Young was born in Ireland, December 14, 1832. Came to this country when quite young and served the last year in the War with Mexico. He taught school at Cincinnati, Ohio. He entered the army when the Civil War broke out and was brevetted brigadier general at the close of the war. He was elected to the Senate of Ohio in 1871, and lieutenant Governor in 1875 with General R. B. Hayes as Governor. He became governor when Governor Hayes was elected President. He served in Congress in 1878-82, and died at Cincinnati, July 20, 1888. [899] YOURTEB (S. L.) A Sermon delivered in the Central M. E.

L.) 469 Confereuce. Springfield, Ohio : News and Republic Job Printing Koouis. 1865. Pamphlet. 8 vo. pp. 16. The assassination of President Lincoln plunged the nation into depths of mourning and almost into despair. Without re- gard to religious differences the churches of the nation testified to this condition. Funeral services and religious addresses pre- vailed universally. This sermon is an example of the period. It is filled with deep pathos and regret, and portrays, through the sad event, the hand of God in the destiny of the Nation, but displays faith in the future of the Republic. The preacher ex- presses the fullest confidence in Andrew Johnson as the suc- cessor of Lincoln. INDEX TO SUBJECTS.
